Apple puff pastry pie with caramel sauce and flaky layers. A warm, comforting dessert perfect for sharing
Ingredients:
- 2 sheets of frozen puff pastry
- 6 Autumn Glory Apples
- Juice of half a lemon
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ½ tablespoon ground ginger
- ½ tablespoon ground nutmeg
- 1 ½ cups brown sugar
- ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Vanilla ice cream to serve
Directions
- Defrost the pastry sheets as per instructions (typically 30-40 minutes)
- While the sheets are coming to room temperature, peel and core the apples, then cut them into 1-inch pieces and transfer them to a small bowl, mixing with the lemon juice and spices.
- Place the apples in the fridge while you make the caramel sauce.
- In a pan on low heat, melt the butter, sugar, and cream together. Whisk for 10 minutes, until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce starts to bubble, then decant half of the sauce into a mason jar and fold in the chilled apple chunks.
- Stir until the apples are well coated and remove from the heat. Chill the decanted sauce until ready to serve.
- Roll out one sheet of pastry and line your skillet with it. Spoon in the apple mix before adding the second rolled pastry sheet on top. Feel free to add your own spin on the design!
- Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes until the pastry is golden brown. Allow to cool before serving with vanilla ice cream. Bon appetit!
