Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 15 min.

Peel 16 apples, and cut in half across.

Stage 2 - 5 min.

Remove cores, no matter if the apples break during this operation.

Stage 3 - 5 min.

Cut each half apple in half again.

Stage 4 - 30 min.

Melt ¹⁄₃ cup butter in a large pan or frying pan. Then sprinkle with ½ cup caster sugar and put apples on top. Allow to caramelise on low heat.

Stage 5 - 3 min.

Meanwhile, spread out the first circle of puff patry (this will be the pie base), prick it with a fork or a pique-vite. Put back in the fridge.

Stage 6 - 3 min.

Spead out the second puff pastry circle (pie lid) and make a small hole in the centre to allow steam to escape during cooking (the "chimney").

Put back in the fridge.

Stage 7

Apples will be caramelized after about 30 minutes.

Stage 8 - 10 min.

Take out the pie base, place on work surface and spread the apples over, caramel side upwards and packed well towards the centre, to within about 1 cm - ½ inch of edge.

Stage 9 - 3 min.

With a brush, moisten edge of pastry with cold water.

Stage 10 - 5 min.

Place the second pastry circle on top.

Stage 11 - 5 min.

Press all around the edge to seal.

Stage 12 - 3 min.

If necessary cut round...

Stage 13

...and trim off any excess.

Stage 14 - 3 min.

Glaze top.

Stage 15 - 25 min.

Leave in the fridge while oven preheats to 210°C or 410°F.

Put in the oven for about 25 minutes.

Stage 16

Watch the coloration: as soon as it looks like the photo, it's done.

Stage 17

Serve warm if possible.

Remarks

You might find it easier to glaze with beaten egg-yolk just after cutting the "chimney".

Clarified butter

This is a way of melting butter to eliminate all the impurities. The clarified butter can then be heated without spoiling, and is more digestible. It is ideal for cooking at high temperatures where small black specks would spoil the appearance, or for emulsified sauces like béarnaise or mousseline.
