Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 15 min.

Peel 8 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 30 g butter in a large pan or frying pan. Then sprinkle with 50 g 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".
