1. Preheat oven to 375℉. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. In a medium saucepan combine figs, applesauce, and orange zest and juice. Bring to a simmer, cover, and simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool completely.

3. Unfold puff pastry on a lightly floured countertop and roll out just enough to smooth out the creases. Cut into 3” squares and transfer to baking sheet. Brush lightly with egg.

4. Spoon a thin layer of fig mixture onto each puff pastry square, leaving a ½” border all the way around. Sprinkle with goat cheese.

5. Bake tarts until golden brown, about 18 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with thyme leaves.
