Apple and Onion Tarts

I served these tarts at a garden party I hosted over the summer and they were a huge hit! Since onions and apples are always available, this hors d' oeuvre is perfect to make all year round.  You can also just make it ahead of time and then just bake it off when your guests arrive.

 

Apple & Onion Tarts

Makes 20

 

Ingredients:

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed

3 Tbsp butter

1 medium onion

2 tart apples (Granny smith are good), peeled and cored

salt and pepper

1 tsp fresh thyme

 

Start by dicing up the onion and apple

 

 

 

Melt the butter in a saute pan over medium heat.  Add the onion and a dash of salt and cook them until soft, a few minutes.

 

Add the apples and turn heat to low. Cover and cook for 30 minutes.

 

It should have a nice golden brown color to it all now.

Turn off the heat and let it cool.

Meanwhile....

 

Unfold the pastry and slice it into 3 strips.

 

Then cut again...and again...and again....

 

(don't mind all the different shades of pictures...just trying to figure out my camera)

 

 Lay the triangles on a baking sheet and top each of them with the onion and apple mixture.

Sprinkle them with thyme.

 

Bake them for 15-20 minutes until they are puffed up and golden brown.

 

They are best when they are served hot, but I have been eating them cold while sitting here typing and they are still really yummy!!
