Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons apricot jam, fig jam, cardamom, and salt.
Gently roll out puff pastry just a bit. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Lightly sprinkle with arrowroot. Spread jam mixture onto puff pastry in a very thin coat, leaving a 1/2’’ border on the outside.
Fan out apple slices just slightly and arrange tightly onto puff pastry. See below for help.
Place puff pastry with apples in freezer for 10 minutes.
Combine remaining tablespoon of apricot jam with unsatled butter and microwave (about 15s) until slightly warmed (it should be spreadable but not liquid). Lightly brush onto apple slices as evenly as possible. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
Bake pastry until golden brown, about 25 minutes at 400.Let cool until jam has set, about 10 minutes, before serving.
