Ingredients
- 2 Granny Smith or Jonathan apples
- 3 T butter
- ¼ C sugar
- 1 piece of puff pastry, defrosted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Peel apples.
- Melt butter in regular sized skillet. Add ¼ C sugar and stir together. Slice apples into ⅛" slices and arrange in circular pattern, filling the skillet. Simmer a couple minutes.
- Place 1 sheet of puff pastry over the top of apples. Cut off corners and tuck edges in to look sort of like the top of a pie.
- Dock (cut some holes) with a knife, again, looking similar to the top of a pie.
- Place in oven for 10-12 minutes. Tap pastry for doneness. It should sound hollow.
- Take out of oven and let rest for 5 minutes, then invert onto platter or plate.
- Serve warm plain or with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Wow!
