Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 10 min.

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.

Stage 2 - 5 min.

Spread an even layer of stewed apple on each piece of pastry, leaving a band around the edge bare.

Stage 3 - 15 min.

Peel the apples, then slice and arrange on top of the stewed apple.

Stage 4 - 20 min.

Bake for about 20 minutes.

Stage 5 - 10 min.

When cooled, glaze the tops of the semelles using a brush (not essential, but more attractive).

Stage 6 - 5 min.

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.
