Simplest Plum Tarts

Method

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 425° and line two 18x13" baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Toss 3 medium red plums, apricots, or peaches, pitted, cut into ¼"-thick wedges, ½ tsp. sugar (if using), and a pinch of kosher salt in a medium bowl to coat. Cut 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed according to package directions, into eight equal rectangles and divide between prepared baking sheets; prick all over with a fork. Spread 1 heaping tsp. of 3 Tbsp. jam over each piece of pastry, leaving a ½" border around the edges. Shingle plums on top, overlapping as needed.

3. 3

   Bake tarts, rotating baking sheets back to front and top to bottom halfway through, until edges of pastry are puffed and golden brown, 25–30 minutes.

4. 4

   Drizzle with tarts with honey and sprinkle with flaky salt just before serving. Do Ahead: Tarts can be baked 4 hours ahead. Store, uncovered, at room temperature.
