Instructions
Step 1: Preparing the puff pastry
Roll the dough out to a rectangle 1/10 inch (2 mm) thick, to the size of your baking sheet. Dock the dough with a fork. Cover with parchment paper. Place corks around the baking sheet and cover with a wire rack. The corks will keep the rack from marking the dough.
Bake in a 356°F (180°C) oven. After 15 minutes, remove the rack and sprinkle the dough with confectioners’ sugar. Turn the heat up to 482°F (250°C), keep an eye on the dough, baking until browned and caramelized.
Step 2: Preparing the apples
Peel the apples. Slice in 6 pieces, then remove the cores and seeds. Sauté with butter and sugar, until thoroughly browned.
