Ingredients:

1 sheet puff pastry
250g
1 cup ricotta cheese
230g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1 sweet potato
200g
1 apple
160g
1 tbsp butter
16g
2 tsp brown sugar
6g
1 tsp rosemary
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
2. Prepare the Puff Pastry:
- Unroll the sheet of puff pastry onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. If necessary, use a rolling pin to ensure the pastry is evenly spread.
- Lightly score a border about 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the edge of the pastry with a knife, being careful not to cut all the way through. This will help create a raised edge for your tart.
3. Prepare the Sweet Potato:
- Peel the sweet potato and cut it into thin slices, preferably about 1/8 inch (3mm) thick for even cooking.
4. Prepare the Apple:
- Core and thinly slice the apple, leaving the skin on for added texture and flavor.
5. Mix Ricotta Filling:
- In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese with 1 tsp of cinnamon. Mix well.
6. Assemble the Tart:
- Spread the cinnamon-ricotta mixture evenly over the base of the puff pastry, staying within the scored border.
- Arrange the sweet potato slices on top of the ricotta mixture in a single overlapping layer.
- Arrange the apple slices over the sweet potato layer in a similar fashion.
7. Prepare the Topping:
- In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter.
- Stir in the brown sugar and rosemary until well combined.
8. Add the Topping:
- Drizzle the butter mixture evenly over the layers of sweet potato and apple.
9. Bake the Tart:
- Transfer the tart to the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the sweet potato slices are tender.
10. Serve:
- Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool slightly on a wire rack before slicing.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure a crisp and evenly baked pastry.

- Peel and thinly slice the sweet potato and apple to ensure they cook evenly and fit well in the tart.

- To avoid a soggy bottom, you can blind bake the puff pastry for 5-7 minutes before adding the filling.

- Mix the ricotta with cinnamon and rosemary beforehand to ensure even distribution of flavors.

- Arrange the sweet potato and apple slices in an overlapping pattern for an appealing presentation.

- Brush the top of the tart with melted butter and sprinkle with brown sugar to achieve a beautiful caramelized finish.

Creating this Sweet Potato & Apple Tart is simple and rewarding. The balance of sweet, creamy, and savory flavors will impress your guests and become a favorite go-to recipe for gatherings or a sweet treat at home. Enjoy each bite of this comforting and flavorful tart.
