What You’ll Need For Fruit Tart

  • creamy peanut butter– I use a natural creamy butter such as Skippy or Jif.
  • honey– Your favorite honey works great here. Make sure it drizzles nicely.
  • apples– Granny Smith Apples work lovely for these tarts, adds a touch of tart to the sweetness.
  • puff pastry sheets– Find puff pastry sheets in the freezer section of the grocery store. Many times near the whipped cream in tubs.
  • powdered sugar– Also called confectioners sugar. Find in the baking section of the grocery store.

    I saw a tiny picture of this on my stumbleupon page and thought it was sliced turkey breast … and of course started craving some turkey. Now that I know they’re apples I really want some apple pie. Regardless, your blog is not good for my late night craving. 😉
