1 Golden delicious apple
1 Frozen puff pastry sheet
-(from one 17 1/4-ounce
-package frozen puff pastry
-sheets), thawed
2 tb Unsalted butter
1/4 c Packed light brown sugar
2 tb Water
GARNISH
Vanilla ice cream
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Peel apple, halve lengthwise, and core. Using a 1-cup ramekin (3 1/4 inches
across and 2 1/4 inches deep) as a guide, cut out 2 rounds from pastry
sheet.
In a 7-inch heavy skillet heat butter over moderate heat until foam
subsides and stir in brown sugar and water. Add apple halves and cook,
turning frequently, 3 minutes. In two 1-cup ramekins set on a baking sheet
arrange apple halves, cored sides up, and top evenly with sauce.
Top apples with pastry rounds, letting edges of pastry hang over sides of
apples. Bake tarts in middle of oven 20 minutes, or until pastry is puffed
and golden brown, and cool on a rack 5 minutes. Working with 1 ramekin at a
time, invert a plate over each ramekin and invert ramekin onto plate.
Carefully lift off ramekins. Serve tarts with ice cream.
