Ingredients

1 sheet puff pastry thawed
1 Tbsp. coconut oil
2 large organic apples thinly sliced (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith work well)
Juice of 1 lemon
2/3 cup organic sugar or coconut sugar
2 tsp. organic cardamom powder
2 tsp. organic cinnamon powder
1/2 cup organic walnuts chopped

Saffron Syrup

1 cup filtered lukewarm water
1 cup organic sugar
1/2 tsp. rosewater
Bloomed saffron threads (see easy instructions below)

Instructions

To bloom saffron

Using mortar and pestle, grind 8 threads of saffron.
In small glass container, place 2 ice cubes and sprinkle on saffron powder. Let cubes melt at room temperature.

Saffron syrup

In small saucepan over medium heat, mix sugar with water. Bring to boil, then lower heat and simmer 15-20 minutes.
Stir in rosewater and bloomed saffron and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Tart

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly brush baking sheet pan with coconut oil. Unfold one rectangular pastry sheet and place on pan.
In medium bowl, toss apple slices with lemon juice, sugar and spices. Mix well and let sit 5-10 minutes for flavors to meld.
Arrange apples over pastry sheet in neat rows, or create your own pattern. Sprinkle with walnuts and cinnamon.
Bake about 20 minutes, until pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Carefully remove from oven and transfer to serving platter. Drizzle with saffron syrup and top with extra chopped walnuts. Slice into squares and serve.
