Glazed Butternut Squash Tart is delicious, sophisticated, and surprisingly simple to make!
Ingredients
- 1 pound butternut squash, halved lengthwise and chopped into quarter-inch slices
- 1/2 cup sugar (granulated)
- 3 teaspoons melted butter
- 1 puff pastry sheet (8 ounces) from the supermarket
- 1 8-ounce jar warmed apricot preserves
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
- 8 ounces room temperature cream cheese
- 2 tsp cinnamon powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Arrange squash slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with melted butter and a quarter cup of sugar. Roast for 30-45 minutes, rotating halfway through. When they’re done, take them out of the oven and reduce the heat to 375°F.
- Meanwhile, roll out the puff pastry sheet into a 14′′x6′′ rectangle and lay it on another baking sheet coated with parchment paper. Cover with parchment paper and a second baking sheet. Prick the pastry with a fork to allow for air to escape throughout the cooking process. Preheat the oven to 375°F and bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Before constructing, let it cool to room temperature.
- While the dough is baking, combine the cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the puff pastry. On top, arrange the candied squash. Warm the preserves until they are warm to the touch before spreading them over the potatoes. Finally, top with pecans that have been chopped. Cut the triangles into triangles and serve!
