Ingredients




17 ounces packages frozen puff pastry (4 sheets), thawed
1 egg, beaten to blend
6 cups ounces soft, fresh goat cheese (about ¾  packed)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
3 mediums Gala apples, peeled, quartered, cored, cut into ⅛-inch thick slices
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup honey, divided
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice

Preparation

1 Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll out each puff pastry sheet on lightly floured surface to 11-inch square. Using 5-inch-diameter cookie cutter or bowl, cut out four rounds from each pastry sheet, forming 16 rounds total. Divide eight pastry rounds between prepared baking sheets; pierce rounds all over with a fork. 2 Using 3.5-inch-diameter cookie cutter or bowl, cut out smaller rounds from the center of the remaining eight rounds, forming eight 5-inch diameter rings. Brush outer 1-inch edges of 5-inch rounds on baking sheets with beaten egg; top each with one pastry ring. Freeze at least 30 minutes. Cover and keep frozen. 3 Preheat the oven to 375°F. Mix cheese, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl; spread mixture inside rings on frozen pastry rounds. Overlap apple slices on top. 4 Mix butter and 1/4 cup honey in a small bowl; brush over apples. Sprinkle with allspice. 5 Bake until apples are tender and pastry is golden,a bout 35 minutes. Place tartlets on plates. Drizzle one tablespoon honey over each and serve warm or at room temperature.
