Roll out the pastry 1/8 inch thick on a lightly floured surface, cut out
two 7-inch rounds, and transfer them to a baking sheet. Peel, halve
lengthwise, and core the apple, slice it thin crosswise, and arrange the
slices, overlapping them slightly, on the pastry rounds. In a small bowl
stir together the sugar and the cinnamon, sprinkle the mixture evenly over
the apples, and dot the tarts with the butter. Bake the tarts in the middle
of a pre-heated 400 degree oven for 25 minutes, or until the pastry is
golden brown. Transfer the tarts to a rack, brush them with the jam and
serve them warm with ice cream.
