line tartlette pan with puff pastry, rolled to 1/8th inch thickness.  place in the refrigerator to get nice and cold.  meanwhile, thinly slice fruit, keeping skin on.  roll out marzipan to an 1/8th inch sheet and gently lay a round into the bottom of the pastry lined tin.  arrange fruit in a thin layer on top.  sprinkle a bit of sugar and cinnamon on top (like you would salt and pepper...do not be heavy handed).  bake at 400 until the pastry is browned and crisp (about 15-20 min).
serve with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of creme fraiche.
