Ingredients
  

1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed

3 large apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting)

Optional: Powdered sugar, for dusting and whipped cream, for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Gently place it in the pan, trimming any excess pastry hanging over the edges. Prick the bottom of the pastry with a fork to prevent bubbling.

      Mix the Apple Filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, melted butter, granulated sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Toss the mixture until all the apple slices are evenly coated.

        Assemble the Tart: Arrange the apple mixture in a circular pattern over the puff pastry, starting from the outside and working your way to the center. Overlap the apple slices slightly for a beautiful presentation.

          Egg Wash: Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the beaten egg to give it a golden color as it bakes.

            Bake: Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, and the apples are tender.

              Cool and Serve: Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream.
