Stage 2 - 5 min.
Chop ¼ cup dried apricots.
You can soak them in 3 tablespoons rum or brandy beforehand, if you wish, but this is not essential.

Roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle, then spread all over with the remaining butter and sugar mixture.
Note: if your pastry comes with a sheet of cooking parchment, leave this under the pastry - it makes rolling out much easier.

Remarks
If you are not using a silicon mould, be sure to turn the rolls out as soon as you remove them from the oven, otherwise the caramel will harden and they will stick. They are then impossible to remove without breaking.
Keeping: A few hours.
