- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation
Preheat oven to 400F & line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small sauce pan over medium-high heat, bring maple syrup, butter, cinnamon, salt, ginger, nutmeg, & black pepper to a boil. Simmer for 2 minutes & remove from heat to let slightly thicken. In a food processor combine feta, yogurt, olive oil, and 1 tablespoon of the maple glaze until smooth and creamy, about 4 mins scraping down as needed. Roll out puff pastry in a rectangle on a lightly floured surface and move the pastry to your parchment paper lined sheet pan
Prick with a fork in the middle of the pastry, leaving a 1/2-1″ border around the edges. Spread the feta evenly over the puff pastry and drizzle with 1 more tablespoon of the maple sauce. Layer sliced apples with the skin facing upwards and brush the maple glaze over your apples. Brush your puff pastry edges with egg wash and then the maple glaze. Sprinkle tart with turbinado sugar and black pepper. Bake for 25-35 minutes until golden brown. (keep in mind the edges will get darker because of the maple glaze) Remove from oven and let cool slightly and sprinkle lightly with flaky salt. Serve warm with ice cream!
