Ingredients

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Roll out the pastry to a 12-inch circle, brush off the flour and transfer it to a cookie sheet.
  3. Arrange the apples in a circle and overlap them, leaving 1 inch free edge.
  4. Fold the edge over the apples.
  5. Brush jelly over apples and pastry but do not dribble apricot or jelly on the cookie sheet. If you do, you seal the dough to the pan and the underside cannot cook properly.
  6. Sprinkle sugar and scatter dots of butter
  7. Bake for 30 minutes. The top should be slightly caramelized and the bottom golden brown.
  8. Serve with sweetened sour cream.
