| Puff Pastry - your favourite recipe or simply buy it frozen,
you will need enough to fill one pie plate |
|
| 6 Mutsu or Granny Smith apples 1/4 cup unsalted butter 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1 tablespoon brandy or Calvados |
|
| Preheat oven to 375 F Roll out pastry to 1/4 inch thick on a lightly floured surface and cut a disc the size of a 10-inch tart shell. Chill until ready to use. Peel, core and cut apples into quarters or slices. Melt butter in a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat. As soon as butter is melted, add brown sugar and cinnamon, stirring until blended and bubbling. Add brandy (watch our for flames) and stir. Spoon into a pie pan (not one with a removable bottom). Arrange apples on top of sugar. Make holes in pastry with a fork and place on top of apples. Place pie pan on a baking sheet to avoid any drips onto oven floor. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until crust is rich and golden brown and apples are tender. |
