Step by step recipe

• 1: Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F).
  Roll out 200 g Puff or flaky pastry (pâte feuilletée) and cut into rectangles of about 8 x 15 cm (3.5 x 4 inches), then prick all over.
• 2: Spread an even layer of stewed apple on each piece of pastry, leaving a band around the edge bare.
• 3: Peel the apples, then slice and arrange on top of the stewed apple.
• 4: Bake for about 20 minutes.
• 5: When cooled, glaze the tops of the semelles using a brush (not essential, but more attractive).
• 6: Serve on their own, or with a little chantilly (whipped cream) or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Remarks

Instead of apples, you can use pears, pineapple, or any other fruit of your choice.
