# Instrucciones:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Combine lamb cubes, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Toss thoroughly and let marinate while preparing tartlets.
03 - Unroll puff pastry and divide into 8 equal squares. Arrange squares evenly on the lined baking sheet.
04 - Layer sliced apples across each pastry square, slightly overlapping. Dot with butter, sprinkle brown sugar, cinnamon, and pinch of salt.
05 - Brush the perimeter of each pastry square with beaten egg.
06 - Bake tartlets for 20–22 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. Remove from oven and allow to cool briefly.
07 - Thread marinated lamb cubes onto 8 skewers, ensuring even spacing.
08 - Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill skewers for 8–10 minutes, turning as needed, until browned on the surface and slightly pink within. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
09 - In a saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir continuously until mixture is bubbly and thickened, about 2–3 minutes. Whisk in heavy cream and sea salt; simmer for 1 minute until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.
