Vegan Caramel Apple Tart
Growing up, caramel apples were always a fall tradition in my family. But as I grew older and started making more plant-based meals, I wanted a dessert that captured the same flavors but in a more elegant form. This tart combines the best of both worlds—caramel apples and pie—without the hassle of making a pie crust.
Description
This vegan caramel apple tart is the epitome of fall desserts. Thinly sliced apples are layered over a flaky pastry crust and drizzled with a homemade vegan caramel sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry (vegan)
- 4 apples (thinly sliced)
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry and place it on a lined baking sheet.
- Layer the apple slices in a spiral pattern on top of the pastry.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake for 30 minutes.
- While baking, prepare the caramel sauce by heating coconut sugar and coconut milk in a saucepan, stirring until thickened.
- Drizzle the caramel sauce over the baked tart.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Note
You can substitute the puff pastry with a shortcrust pastry if preferred.
Add a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream on top for an extra treat.
