Almond Apple Tart
"This recipe is from Nathan Lyon's series, "Lyon in the Kitchen". Love it. It's a great and quick dessert. I usually slice the puff pastry diagonally to make baking more even and serving easier. The original recipe calls for crème fraiche and lemon zest topping, but I have drizzled caramel sauce on top or added a scoop of ice cream."
