BLACKBERRY PUFF PASTRY TARTS
This simple yet delicious recipe is certain to please anyone with a sweet tooth. You can use either puff pastry sheets or shells for this recipe. If you use sheets, put the filling in before you cook the pastry, and then cook them all the way in one go. These are equally good warm or cooled, but I advise against reheating them in the microwave or refrigerating them.

PUFF PASTRY TARTS
Macerating the fruit in a bit of sugar and acid (strawberries and balsamic vinegar are natural allies) helps draw out their natural juices and makes an ideal filling for pastry shells.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a long rectangle. Cut in half crosswise (halves should be almost square). Transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet; prick with a fork in several places. Using a small offset spatula, spread 2 Tbsp. peanut butter in the center of each half to make a 5" round, then spread 2 Tbsp. apple butter over top of each nut-butter round. Pile up apples in the center of each puff pastry and top with peanuts. Dot fruit with butter and sprinkle with sugar.
- Beat egg and 1 tsp. water in a small bowl, then brush pastry with egg wash and fold up edges around apples, leaving the center open. Press along the folded edges to lightly seal. Brush outside of pastry with egg wash and sprinkle with more sugar. Let chill in freezer 10 minutes.
- Bake tarts until puff pastry is golden, 15-20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and continue to bake until pastry is deep golden brown and apples are tender, 20-25 minutes.

Steps:
- Heat butter and oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add onions and and stir to coat in oil. Grab a glass of wine and a magazine and plop yourself in front of the stove because you are going to be here for a while. You will cook the onions for 60 minutes total, stirring every 4-5 minutes or so. After they've cooked for 10 minutes add a pinch of salt. After they've cooked for 40 minutes add a teaspoon of sugar. After they've finished cooking for 60 minutes and are a gorgeous dark brown color, deglaze the pan with the white wine, season with salt and pepper to taste, then set aside. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Unwrap the puff pastry and cut along the seams of each sheet, creating 6 rectangles total. Lightly flour your work surface and roll each piece into a 3.5″ x 12″ rectangle. Use a 3″ cookie cutter to make four tarts out of each rectangle. Transfer tarts to (2) parchment lined baking sheets. Combine puff pastry scraps into a ball, roll them out to the same thickness as your previous tarts and use the cookie cutter to make 10-12 more tarts. Arrange tarts on the two baking sheets about an inch apart. You will have 30-32 tarts total. Use a 2″ cookie cutter to score each tart in the center, creating a half inch wide crust. Brush the crust portion of the tart with the egg wash. Heat fig jam in a small saucepan over medium heat just until it becomes loose and spreadable. Spread a teaspoon or so of fig jam in the center of each tart. Top that with a teaspoon or so of caramelized onions. And then, you guessed it, top that with a teaspoon or so of blue cheese. Divide thyme evenly between the tarts, sprinkling a few leaves in the center of each tart. Bake tarts for 15-18 minutes or until the crust starts to get dark golden brown Remove tarts from the oven and drizzle with honey. Serve warm and enjoy! NOTES These tarts are also delicious at room temperature!
Tips:
- Always use high-quality puff pastry, as this will make a big difference to the final product. - For the best results, chill the puff pastry before using it. This will help it to rise evenly and prevent it from becoming too greasy. - When rolling out the puff pastry, be sure to do so on a lightly floured surface. This will prevent it from sticking. - If you are using a pre-made filling, be sure to drain it well before using it. This will prevent the tarts from becoming soggy. - Bake the tarts in a preheated oven. This will help them to cook evenly. - Keep an eye on the tarts while they are baking. They can burn easily, so it is important to remove them from the oven as soon as they are golden brown. - Allow the tarts to cool slightly before serving. This will make them easier to handle and will also allow the flavors to develop.Conclusion:
