Get out and measure all of your ingredients.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Prepare a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
At your workstation, lightly flour your surface.
Roll your puff pastry out into a 12-14 inch square, as thin as you can, about 1/16-inch thick.
Using a ruler if necessary to cut pastry into squares.
We usually aim for squares that are between 3 and 4 inches.
Transfer your squares on to your prepared sheet.
Now you have to try and arrange your apple slices in a a tight circle or flower from each apple half on top of each pastry round.
Combine your sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the sugar mixture evenly over top of each tart.
Dot each evenly with about 1 teaspoon of butter.
Bake your tarts until browned around the edges, between 16 to 20 minutes.

Plain or serve with ice cream, whipped cream and/or caramel sauce.
Enjoy every bite.

Notes

Tips:

Puff pastry defrosts quickly, so if you live in a warmer climate you may need to pop it back into the refrigerator until ready to use.
Don't slice the apples too thinly. About ¼ inch thickness is perfect. You want them to get tender but not turn mushy.
This apple tart recipe comes together very quickly, so have all of your ingredients prepped and measured first.
Mix at least two varieties of apples. I always like to mix my apples for baking for optimal taste.
