Cooking Steps
Melt 1/4 cup butter in a small pot. Core, then cut apples into 1/4- inch slices. Add apples, brown sugar, cornstarch, 2 tsp Holiday Spice Blend, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1/8 tsp salt, and 2 tbsp melted butter in a large bowl. Toss to combine.
Unroll puff pastries onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly prick each pastry all over with a fork. Divide and mound the apple mixture in the center of each pastry, leaving a 2-inch border. Pull pastry border up and over the outer apples leaving the center bare.
Sprinkle sliced almonds over middle of the tart. Brush the crust with 2 tbsp melted butter. Bake pastry in middle of
oven, for 35-40 min, until apples soften and pastry is golden- brown.
When crostata is finished, let pastry cool before cutting into quarters. Before serving, add remaining 1/2 cup cream to a large bowl. Whip, using a whisk or electric beater, until stiff peaks form, 2-3 min. Dollop whip cream over crostata and serve.
