Ingredients

  • 3 small gala apples
  • 6 square puff pastry shells
  • 1 12 tablespoons apricot jam
  • 3 tablespoons caster sugar
  • 50 g butter
  • 3 tablespoons apricot jam, extra

Method

  • Lightly grease a large oven tray.
  • Cut apples in half from stem, core - but leave unpeeled.
  • Slice as thinly as you can, retaining the shape.
  • Place puff pastry squares well spaced-out on tray.
  • Spread each pastry with a tsp of apricot jam, leaving a border.
  • Divide apple slices evenly and arrange along each pastry piece, leaving border.
  • Sprinkle the apples with sugar and dot with a small cube of butter.
  • Use the blunt side of a knife to make indentations along edges of pastry - this helps the pastry to rise and flake.
  • Chill for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 415F and bake pastries for 20 minutes or till puffed and golden.
  • While hot, brush with warmed, sieved jam to glaze.
  • Serve warm or cold.
