Ingredients
- 4 firm apples
- 12 rounds of puff pastry (from 3-4 store-bought pastry rolls)
- 10 cm roll of marzipan
- 25 g brown sugar
- A bit of icing sugar
- A handful of flaked almonds
- 50 g butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
- Roll out the puff pastry and cut out 12 rounds using a cutter.
- Place the rounds on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Prick the pastry rounds with a fork to prevent them from puffing too much.
- Bake the pastry in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool.
- While the pastry cools, peel and slice the apples thinly.
- In a pan, melt the butter and add the apple slices. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Take a baked pastry round and place a layer of cooked apples on top.
- Grate a portion of the marzipan over the apples.
- Add a second pastry round on top, followed by another layer of apples and marzipan.
- Repeat this process until all pastry rounds, apples, and marzipan are used up, finishing with a layer of pastry on top.
- Dust the top with icing sugar and sprinkle the flaked almonds over it.
- For an extra touch, place it under the broiler for a minute to give the almonds a nice golden color.
- Allow it to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Feel free to use any variety of apples you prefer; just make sure they are firm enough to hold their shape when cooked.
