Plum and Apple Puff Pastry Tart - easy, French-style dessert that you can easily make with the store-bought puff pastry sheets.
This is that puff pastry dessert I was talking about earlier this week, when I got carried away baking puff pastry goodies for Weekend Cook and Tell Event at SeriousEats.com. Just like anything with puff pastry, this Plum and Apple Puff Pastry Tart recipe is very easy: slice the fruit, assemble and bake. Plum and apple tart that you see on these photos is a very light and fluffy dessert concoction. No rich chocolate this time. Enjoy it with a cup of hot tea and a scoop of ice cream!
Plum and Apple Puff Pastry Tart
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 2 plums
- 2 apples
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 egg for egg wash
- 1 tablespoon confectionery sugar for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 415 F. Defrost 1 sheet of puff pastry for about 40 minutes until just soft. Don’t let puff pastry sheet get too warm and put it in the refrigerator if you’re not using it right away after 40 minutes of defrosting.
- Core and peel apples, slice them thinly. Remove the pits from the plums, and slice them thinly.
- In a bowl with apples, add 2 tablespoons brown sugar and let sliced apples sit for 5-10 minutes to get all juicy.
- In a separate bowl, add 2 tablespoons brown sugar to sliced plums and let plums sit for 5-10 minutes to release their juices.
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper. You don’t have to grease parchment paper.
- Beat 1 egg in a small bowl until well blended. Brush puff pastry sheet with egg wash, especially the edges. Line apple slices and plum slices (apple slice, plum slice, apple slice, plum slice and so on) in a straight line along the puff pastry sheet. Make sure not to fill the whole space of puff pastry, so that you have extra space around the edges for puff. You should have 3 rows as shown on the photo
- Bake for 20 minutes until pastry puffs up along the edges. To serve, sprinkle with sifted powdered sugar.

This tart looks so simple and delicious! I have a question about the ingredients as you have brown sugar listed twice. :))
Hi, Suzette! I am adding 2 tablespoons of brown sugar to the bowl with sliced apples, and then I mix another 2 tablespoons of brown sugar in a separate bowl with sliced plums, that's why there are 2 tablespoons listed twice. Of course, it could've been easier just to list 4 tablespoons in one line, LOL! 🙂
Such a gorgeous tart - pinned!
This is such a pretty tart! The red of the plum is so vibrant. And I love the simple recipe.

Thank you so much! I love making international friends!
this looks so unbelievably pretty! I could eat the all thing myself for how appealing this fruit tart looks!
Thank you! These fruit puff pastry tarts are so light, I could literally have eaten the whole thing in one sitting. But I restrained myself. 🙂
The best recipes are simple 🙂
The reindeer on the box and icing sugar remind me of Christmas!
You're right! This picture does have a Christmas touch to it. 🙂 Believe it or not, that wooden box with the reindeer on it is for storing honey. I haven't stored honey in it, but that's what it's meant for.
Nice blog, I found lots of information on your site. I'm going to add your blog to my favorite sites.
