How to cook deliciously - Apple Marzipan Puff Pastry Tart

1 . Stage

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

2 . Stage

Roll puff pastry out into a 14- to 15-inch circle on a floured surface. Place onto the prepared baking sheet.

3 . Stage

Place marzipan between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and roll into a circle about 11 inches in diameter. Remove plastic wrap and place marzipan in the center of the puff pastry.

4 . Stage

Toss apples, cornstarch, butter, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a large bowl. Add brown sugar and toss quickly.

5 . Stage

Arrange the apple slices in concentric circles onto the marzipan, leaving about 3 inches of pastry free at the edges. Pile the apple filling high up in layers and add all the dry bits remaining in the bowl. Sprinkle with pecans.

6 . Stage

Fold edges of the puff pastry up around the filling, leaving center open and pinching the edges where it overlaps. Press pastry gently around the filling to squeeze out any excess air in between. Brush a little egg around the top.

7 . Stage

Place in the preheated oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake until puff pastry is golden brown and apples are fork-tender, 35 to 40 minutes.
