- It must be chilled and thawed. If it not, it will tear and not bake evenly. Then cut the sheet into equal sized rectangles and squares.

- Carefully take a puff pastry sheet and place on top of the apples. Using your fingers gently press down to remove any air. Then using a fork press down the sides.
- Bake in oven at 400F or 200C for 8-10 minutes till the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed. Using a spatula flip the upside down apple tarts. They are ready to serve. Enjoy.
