directions

  • To Make Frangipane: Cream the sugar and butter till smooth.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Add the almond meal and flour and beat until it forms a smooth paste.
  • Transfer to a small bowl, cover and refrigerate.
  • Puff Pastry: thaw as per manufacturer's instructions and then, on a lightly floured piece of parchment paper, roll the pastry into a 16 inch oval shape that is about 1/8 inch thick.
  • Prick the pastry all over with the tines of a fork and then transfer the pastry (along with the parchment paper) to a large baking sheet.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, about 15 - 20 minutes.
  • Then, with a spatula or large knife, spread a thin layer of frangipane over the chilled crust, leaving about a 1/2 inch border.
  • Cover and again freeze for about 15 more minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
  • Place apples in a large bowl and toss with the sugar and ground cinnamon.
  • Remove the puff pastry from the freezer and lay the sugar coated apple slices on top of the frangipane, overlapping the slices.
  • Bake for about 15 - 25 minutes or until the apples are slightly browned and tender and the puff pastry is golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and place on a wire rack.
  • Preheat the oven broiler and move the rack to the top shelf of the oven.
  • Lightly dust the tops of the apples with icing sugar and place under the broiler until the tips of the apples start to caramelize.
  • Serve warm or cold with softly whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
