Ingredients

2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1 small yellow onion
1 sheet frozen puff pastry
2 large Braeburn apples
4 oz. Gruyère

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a small skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Sauté onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
2. Step 2Meanwhile, on a work surface, roll out puff pastry to a 13- by 10-inch rectangle. Cut dough into four 6 1/2- by 5-inch rectangles. Using a sharp knife, score 4 lines to create a 1/2-inch border all the way around each tart. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking pan.
3. Step 3Divide half of onion mixture among tarts. Layer apples in 3 slightly overlapping rows on each. Top with remaining onion mixture and cheese. Dot with remaining butter. Bake tarts until apples are tender and cheese is golden, about 20 minutes.
