Roll out one disc of refrigerated pastry to about 10″ in diameter. It doesn’t have to be perfect. In fact, imperfections make it more rustic.
Transfer pastry to a parchment lined baking sheet.
Pour apple mixture into middle of pastry, leaving about 1 inch around the entire circle.
Fold up the edges around the filling.
Brush edge of pastry and filling with melted butter.
Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and apples have softened.
Allow tart to cool slightly before removing from baking sheet.
