Pineapple Tarts - Sweet, fruity, delicious tart made using puff pastry and pineapples. A quick and easy recipe that can be made in minutes.

So one night while trying to relax and watch a little television I navigated to the Cooking Channel and began watching the show Tia Mowry at Home and on this particular episode she was whipping up some quick and easy pineapple tarts.

She began the recipe by pulling out some frozen puff pastry dough and canned sliced pineapple rings...this of course immediately piqued my interest because they just so happen to be two ingredients that I keep in my kitchen. Puff pastry is also one of those amazing ingredients that can make any recipe suddenly seem elegant and fancy. Seriously just saying 'puff pastry' oozes with an air of cocktail parties and glam and you can literally take any recipe to another level when you choose to add puff pastry.

Even though I usually have puff pastry in my freezer, I have to admit that it is not something that I use very often, but when I do it is always totally worth it and this recipe is no exception.

The mixture of sweet pineapple...

The spice of the ginger...

The flaky pastry crust...

The layer of browned sugar on the top that provides amazing texture and sweetness that really make this dessert come together in an amazing bite.
