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.

Made it today and it was excellent! I’m not a big honey person and I was a little worried but it is perfect with the peanut butter and apples! They all work well together and don’t overwhelm each other. Thanks!
Simple recipes make me happy too 🙂 Thank you for this. Will use a substitute for sugar http://www.tiana-coconut.com/products/coconut-superfoods/coconut-nectar-sugar-substitute/ because of my diet but I am sure it will work fine 🙂
can i use almond butter, or walnut butter, instead of peanut butter… ?
This looks amazing!! It’s a perfect snack/dessert for my girls: all of their favorite things. Thanks for sharing 🙂
This looks great for a kid friendly recipe. My boy would love making this! I would love the eating part 🙂
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. 😉
