Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 15
Ingredients
  • 1 roll of puffed pastry
  • 4 medium to large apples, thinly sliced (2 green, 2 red)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup butter, browned
  • Egg wash (optional)
  • Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving.
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375.
  2. Brown the butter by melting it over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until brown specs appear in the bottom of the pan. (See picture in step-by-step photos above.) Once it is browned, pour it into a glass container so it doesn't cook further and possibly burn. Set aside before starting the next steps.
  3. Spray a 9x13 glass baking dish with cooking spray and place the puffed pastry evenly inside and up on the sides of the dish. If it is not large enough to come up on the sides, gently roll it out until it is the right size, or use two and cut off the excess.
  4. Next, make three rows of alternating apple slices on top of the puffed pastry.
  5. Now it's time to make the filling.
  6. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and salt.
  7. Next, add flour, cinnamon and vanilla and whisk until smooth.
  8. Once the mixture is smooth, slowly add and whisk in the browned butter.
  9. Pour the mixture evenly over the apples.
  10. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or until the top is nicely browned.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving.
  12. Serve warm with whipping cream or vanilla ice cream.
  13. Enjoy!
