Ingredients

Tartlets
• 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
• 4 oz brie cheese, sliced into small pieces
• 1 medium apple, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup caramel sauce
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Garnish

• Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
• Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional, for decoration)

Instructions

Prepare the Puff Pastry:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Using a Christmas tree-shaped cookie cutter, cut out as many trees as possible.

Assemble the Tartlets:

3. Place half of the pastry trees on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Arrange a small piece of brie in the center of each tree, followed by a few thin apple slices and a drizzle of caramel sauce.
5. Top each filled tree with another puff pastry tree. Press the edges gently to seal.
6. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Bake:

7. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

Garnish and Serve:

8. Dust the tartlets with powdered sugar for a snowy effect and garnish with rosemary sprigs to mimic a holiday tree.
