Peel 8 apples, and cut in half across.

---

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.

If necessary cut round...

...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.

Remarks

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