Stir in cinnamon and water remove from heat. Carefully pack apple wedges into skillet, arranging them in a circular fashion. Fill in with additional apple wedges. Cut puff pastry into a circle one-inch larger around in diameter than the skillet. Place the pastry over the apples, gently pressing down while tucking in the edges. Bake tart in preheated oven at 375 degrees F for 30 - 35 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Cool slightly and invert the pan onto a large serving plate.
