Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a standard 6-cup muffin tin or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Use a biscuit cutter or knife to cut out 6 equal squares, slightly larger than the diameter of your muffin cups if using a tin.
- Gently press each pastry square into the cups of the muffin tin, allowing the edges to jut up slightly, forming a tart shell. If using a baking sheet, place the squares on the sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of honey, lemon juice, cinnamon, and melted butter. Place two apricot halves (cut side up) into each pastry shell.
- Spoon the honey mixture evenly over the arranged apricots in each tart. Sprinkle the tops evenly with turbinado sugar.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed, and the fruit is tender.
- Remove from the oven and immediately brush the tops of the warm apricots with a little extra honey for a shiny glaze. Let cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing. Garnish with toasted almonds, if desired, before serving warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For an extra burst of flavor, you can grate a tiny bit of fresh orange zest over the apricots before baking. Ensure your puff pastry is cold when you cut it for the best rise.
