How to Make Apple Flory A Puff Pastry Tart Scotland

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, gently roll out the puff pastry to a 12-inch circle. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Peel, core, and thinly slice 4 large apples (approx. 2 lbs). In a bowl, toss the apples with 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Arrange the apple slices evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border.
  5. Fold the edges of the pastry over the apples, pleating as desired.
  6. Whisk together 1 egg yolk with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the pastry edges with the egg wash.
  7. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy with a dollop of clotted cream or vanilla ice cream (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
