This Sweet Potato & Apple Tart is a delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors. The creamy ricotta cheese paired with the warm spices of cinnamon and rosemary brings out the natural sweetness of the sweet potato and apple, all encased in a flaky puff pastry. It's an easy yet elegant dish that's perfect for a cozy brunch or a delicious dessert.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
- 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.
- Peel the sweet potato and cut it into thin slices, preferably about 1/8 inch (3mm) thick for even cooking.
- Core and thinly slice the apple, leaving the skin on for added texture and flavor.
- In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese with 1 tsp of cinnamon. Mix well.
- 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.
- In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter.
- Stir in the brown sugar and rosemary until well combined.
- Drizzle the butter mixture evenly over the layers of sweet potato and apple.
- 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.
- 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.
