1. Preheat oven to 425°F with the rack in the middle position.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; reserve.
2. Using a 4-inch round cutter, cut four rounds out of the puff
pastry. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Using a paring
knife, score a small border around each piece of dough,
making a ¼-inch border. Using the tines of a fork, evenly
prick the dough all over without cutting through. Reserve in
refrigerator until ready to use.
3. Assemble the Cuisinart
Cone and Straight Feed Tube. Spiralize the apples, stopping
to clean the Cutting Cone between apples and to remove
the processed apple from the Work Bowl before processing
the second. Cut each apple horizontally so that each apple
forms two rosettes.
4. Remove puff pastry from refrigerator and place the apples on
the prepared baking sheet next to the dough rounds. Evenly
sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over each apple rosette.
5. Bake the dough and the apples for 15 minutes. Once the 15
minutes have expired, carefully remove from oven, press
down the center of each dough round and, using a heatproof
utensil (an offset spatula works best), place the cooked apple
in the center of each partially baked pastry. Return to oven
and allow to cook until the apples are soft and nicely
browned, another 10 to 15 minutes.
6. While tartlets are baking, warm the jam slightly until just
runny.
7. Remove tartlets from the oven and carefully brush each with
the warm jam. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped
cream.
