When you’re feeling a little peckish …

These puff pastry apple tarts are great for a tea time snack. All you need are apples, a sheet of frozen puff pastry and some honey.  I tried making them over the weekend and loved how easy and delicious they were.  The recipe called for Golden Delicious apples but I couldn’t find them in my supermarket, and used Korean apples instead.  They still turned out great – the light and buttery puff pastry and  warm baked apples covered in honey and cinnamon was a wonderful combination.  This recipe is a definite keeper.
