These little pastry tarts are delicious and easy to make. I usually cook a whole bunch of quinces and preserve them.

Time 1h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 cups water
2 cups white sugar
½ lemon, sliced
½ vanilla bean, slit lengthwise
2 ¼ pounds quinces - peeled, cored, and sliced
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
4 tablespoons fat-free plain Greek-style yogurt (such as Fage® 0%)
3 tablespoons apple jelly, or as needed

Steps:

  • Combine water and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Once sugar has dissolved, add lemon slices and vanilla bean. Add quinces, cover, and simmer until soft, but still holding together, about 45 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. Remove and discard vanilla bean and lemon; drain quince slices and refrigerate.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Unroll puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into 8 squares.
  • Stir Greek yogurt until creamy and place 1/2 tablespoon in the middle of each puff pastry square. Place 5 to 6 drained quince slices on top, overlapping slightly, leaving a little room around the edges. Press dough edges up to contain filling. Place squares on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Warm apple jelly in the microwave for 30 seconds and brush quince slices with jelly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until puff pastry has risen and is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.

These squares are very versatile. You can serve them with whipped cream, ice cream, or even a dollop of yogurt.

These squares are a great way to use up leftover quince. I always have a few quinces left over after making quince jelly, and these squares are a delicious way to use them up.

These squares are the perfect balance of sweet and tart. The quince filling is perfectly complemented by the flaky pastry.

These squares were a hit at my dinner party. Everyone loved them! I especially liked the way the quince filling caramelized in the oven.

I'm not usually a fan of quince, but these squares changed my mind. The filling was perfectly balanced, not too sweet and not too tart. The pastry was also very well made, with a nice golden brown color.
