Follow these straightforward steps to create your own salted caramel apple tarts:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Place them in a bowl, then toss with lemon juice, cinnamon, and granulated sugar.
3. Roll Out the Dough: If you’re using homemade pie dough, roll it out into a ¼-inch thickness. Use a round cutter to create circles for your tarts, about 4-6 inches in diameter.
4. Assemble the Tarts: Place the dough circles onto the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the apple slices in a circular pattern, leaving a ½-inch border around the edge.
5. Drizzle with Caramel: Generously drizzle salted caramel sauce over the arranged apples.
6. Fold the Edges: Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the apple filling, pinching to create a rustic look.
7. Bake the Tarts: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the apples are tender.
8. Cool Slightly: Once baked, remove the tarts from the oven and allow them to cool for about 15 minutes.
9. Sprinkle with Sea Salt: Before serving, lightly sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the warm tarts to enhance the flavors.
10. Serve with Whipped Cream: For an indulgent touch, serve your salted caramel apple tarts with a dollop of whipped cream on the side.

By following these steps, you’ll create beautifully presented salted caramel apple tarts that are bound to impress.
