I have always loved those super thin and crispy apple tarts served at fancy restaurants. They are light, fruity and so crunchy!
By following my method, you can use ready made puff pastry dough and it will come out super caramelized and crispy with flaky buttery layers and a fruity apple layer using basic ingredients.
I have used the @skinnygenie gluten-free dough that I ordered by mistake from @kibsons but it was the best mistake as I was super pleased with the results.
