* Lightly roll out puff pastry sheets on lightly floured surface, overlapping them slightly to make the two sheets into one large square. Place the squares of pastry over the cookie sheet (the sides will overlap the edges of the pan). Place the cut plum wedges in a large bowl. Add the liqueur and toss well. Add the flour, cinnamon and sugar and toss well. Pile the plums in the center of the puff pastry, allowing at least 4 inches all around for folding over the plums. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the plums and dot with butter. Sprinkle pinenuts over the plums. Fold all the edges over the plum Filling, folding the dough over where necessary to make the tart a free-form rounded shape. Bake the tart until the pastry is gold- en brown and puffed and the plums are tender, about 30-40 minutes. Remove the tart from the oven and cool. Using two spatulas, loosen the tart from the pan and slide it onto a serv- ing dish. Serve the tart cut into wedges and garnish with a dollop of fresh whipped cream. Makes 8 servings. MAPLE AND BROWN SUGAR- STUFFED BAKED APPLES 8 large Golden Delicious apples with stems 4 T. (1/2 stick) butter, cut into pieces 1/3 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts 1/4 cup golden raisins or dried cher- ries 1/4 cup pure maple syrup 1 1/2 t. ground cinnamon 1 cup apple cider Preheat oven to 350F. Use a sharp knife to cut a small slice off the bottom of the apples so that they can sit squarely in a large baking dish. Peel the apples. Using a melon-bailer, scoop out the core and seeds, but do not scoop out to the top of the apple (leave the stems intact). Place a small piece of butter high into the scooped-out area of the apples. Stuff an amount of brown sugar, pecans and raisins into the cavi- ties, in that order (the cavities should be completely filled). Arrange the apples in the baking dish. If there are any remaining stuffing ingredients, place them around the apples. Drizzle the apples with the maple syrup and sprinkle cinnamon over the apples. Pour the cider around the apples and bake the apples, uncovered, for one hour, until tender. Serve the apples warm with the juices spooned over. Makes 8 servings.
