This is in fact a perfect pastry made with homemade puff pastry is much better! I don't buy puff pastry but it's a definite 5***** -
Syd, your recipes rocks as usually!<br/>I prepared the recipe with the double amount of apples because we have sooooo much from the garden. I cooked them open in a big flat pan trying to let evaporate at least some humidity and reduce the mass.<br/>As marmelade/jam I used a ginger one, but I'm sure with other would be phantastic as well.<br/>I used light puff pastry (fat reduced) which I would use again.<br/>For the decoration I simply joined the remaing pastry, rolled out agin, made a roll and sliced it. I placed them loose on the the cover because I knew that they would rise!<br/>Thanks a lot Syd!
