  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      sheet         (1/2 pound) frozen puff pastry -- thawed
   1                    Granny Smith apple
   2      tablespoons   sugar
     1/4  teaspoon      cinnamon
   1      tablespoon    cold unsalted butter -- cut into bits
   2      tablespoons   apricot jam -- heated and strained
                        Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
                        as an accompaniment


Roll out the pastry 1/8 inch thick on a lightly floured surface, 
cut out two 7-inch rounds, and transfer them to a baking sheet. 
Peel, halve lengthwise, and core the apple, slice it thin crosswise, 
and arrange the slices, overlapping them slightly, on the pastry 
rounds. In a small bowl stir together the sugar and the cinnamon, 
sprinkle the mixture evenly over the apples, and dot the tarts with 
the 
butter. Bake the tarts in the middle of a pre-heated 400 degree oven 
for 25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown. Transfer the 
tarts
to a rack, brush them with the jam and serve them warm with ice 
cream.

Yield: 2 serving
