Ingredients
  

  • 75 g Sugar
  • 25 g Butter Melted
  • 1 Lemon Juice and Zest
  • 1 Egg
  • 3 Apples

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 205C/400F
  • In a bowl combine sugar, melted butter, lemon zest and juice and one egg. Set Aside
  • Wash and peel your apples and cut into thin slices
  • Roll out your puff pastry and place into a pie plate poking holes in the base with a fork so you don't get air bubbles mid cooking. Crimp the edge with your fingers or use a fork to create a pattern of your choice (alternatively, you can make this like a galette and fold the excess pastry over the apples at the end as well if you like)
  • Arrange the apple slices neatly inside the crust and any leftover apple can be cut into cubes to fill in around the edges.
  • Pour the lemon mixture over top of the apples trying to lightly coat everything if possible
  • Cook for 40 minutes
  • Let it cool before serving so the liquid has time to solidify and be easier to handle or you risk a soupy mess
