This recipe is one that I must have come up with after seeing all those upside-down pastry turnovers on social media. While these aren’t in that “upside-down” vein, they are super quick and tasty! And, unlike most similar recipes, this one is savory, not sweet.

These pastry tarts with apples, plums, and brie make a beautiful spread for guests, and they are easy enough for your kids to conquer with some guidance.

These are not stylized photos, as I captured them in the moment and didn’t expect this recipe to be such a hit on my first try. But no adjustments were needed — it really is so simple, fun, and delicious.

I’m in no way precise when it comes to my cooking, which is why I rarely do anything close to baking. My non-precise skills are showing here, but it hopefully also shows there’s no need to be intimidated by this recipe! Image: Liza Graves

See how cute?! I prefer the plum ones to the apple, but they are both delicious! Pears would be fun to try, perhaps with some gorgonzola cheese. I left the pecans off this batch. Image: Liza Graves

Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
  • 8 oz brie cheese, sliced thinly (rind removed if preferred)
  • 2 medium apples, thinly sliced
  • 2 medium plums, thinly sliced
  • 2 tsbp olive oil
  • 1 tsbp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/4 cup toasted pecans, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 tsp flaky sea salt
  • Drizzle of hot honey Optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Prepare Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any creases. From here you have TWO options:
    Option #1: Transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gently score a 1-inch border around the edges of the pastry with a knife, being careful not to cut all the way through. Use a fork to lightly prick the inside of the scored area to prevent it from puffing up too much.
    Option #2: cut the pastry into rectangles, approximately 2.5 by 3 inches. Similarly, score them and then prep them with the same instructions below, just changing as needed to make it work on a smaller pastry. With the smaller squares, instead of using both fruits on a square, I used either plums OR apples on each square, alternating my fruit choice as I prepped each one.
  • Pre-Bake the Pastry: Bake the puff pastry for about 5 minutes, or until it starts to turn lightly golden and crisp, but not fully baked.
  • Add the Brie Layer: Remove the partially baked puff pastry from the oven and immediately layer the brie slices evenly over the pricked area of the pastry.
  • Arrange the Fruit: Toss the sliced apples and plums with olive oil in a mixing bowl. Arrange the fruit slices in an overlapping pattern on top of the brie.
  • Add Thyme: Sprinkle the thyme leaves over the arranged fruit.
  • Final Baking: Return the tart to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crisp, and the fruit is tender.
  • Finishing Touches: Once out of the oven, scatter the chopped toasted pecans on top for added crunch, sprinkle the tart with flaky sea salt for a savory finish. Optionally, drizzle with a small amount of hot honey.
  • Serve: Let the tart cool slightly before slicing and serving. This tart is delicious served warm or at room temperature, making it perfect for gatherings.
