Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 1 cup applesauce, sweetened
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon apple brandy
- 1/4 teaspoon grated lemon rind
- 4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut in thin slices
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 4 tablespoons butter
- Pizza wheel
Method
- Thaw the puff pastry in the refrigerator overnight.
- The next day, roll it out slightly to make it more flat, even and square.
- Using a 10-inch pan lid as your guide, cut out the largest disk possible with a pizza wheel and place it on a parchment-lined sheet pan.
- Chill it while you make the filling.
- Place the applesauce in a saucepan with the lemon juice, cinnamon, brandy, and lemon rind.
- Stir and bring to a simmer, then cook down to 3/4 cup.
- Spread it on a sheet pan to cool it to room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Take out the puff pastry and spread the reduced applesauce on it to cover the surface of the pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch edge.
- Fan the apple slices in concentric circles over the applesauce decoratively.
- Sprinkle all over evenly and lightly with sugar then dot it with butter.
- Bake for 25 to 35 minutes until the apples are tender and the edges are golden brown.
