Preparation

1

Peel the apples. Cut into quarters and remove the seeds. Cut the quarters into wide slices. Move the apples to a salad bowl.

Spread the apples evenly on top of the pastry. Leave a 1.5 inch border of pastry along the sides. 

5

Cover the apples with the second puff pastry.

Serve warm.
