Apple Cheesecake Tarts-don’t tell anyone how easy these are to make!
I think I might have a problem. They say the hardest part is admitting it, right? Here’s the issue. If I admit it, does that mean that things will have to change? Because, well, I don’t want them to change. I’m happy with my problem. My family loves that I have this problem.
I look forward to dealing with my problem on a regular basis.
The problem is frozen Puff Pastry. It’s just too easy to work with. I keep a stash of it in my deep freeze. Right by the butter. In fact, I think I probably buy as much puff pastry as I do butter, and that’s a lot. I tell myself it’s just for special occasions. Those special times are turning into things like I have extra apples I want/need to use up. Or the kids are all going to be home right after school together, or it’s Monday.
This time it was all of the above, the triple crown of reasons. And we can also add in, cream cheese was on sale.
To prevent sliced apples from browning, you can dip them in 1 cup water mixed with 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Recipe source ChocolateChocolateandmore.comApple Cheesecake Tarts

I have the same “problem” with crescent rolls! Can’t get enough of that buttery treat. These cheesecake tarts look amazing! Easy, pretty and tasty…hard to go wrong here. ๐
LOVE LOVE LOVE this Joan. I love keeping Puff Pastry in the freezer for quick tarts, this is gorgeous!!
Thanks Aimee, I’m not ashamed to say I had no trouble taste testing one…over and over and over! These were so good!
When I made these I just scored around each rectangle about 1/2 inch with a sharp knife (don’t cut all the way through pastry) and put the sliced apples on top of the cream cheese mixture and baked them that way. They came out great and the apples also cooked. You can also drizzle with a powdered sugar glaze. Thanks for the tart idea. I have made this with a whole sheet of pastry, but like the idea of individual tarts better.
