Ingredients
2tablespoonsbutter
4Granny Smith apples,peeled, cored and cut into 1.5 cm-thick wedges
1package pre-rolled ready-made puff pastry
a handful of fresh or thawed red currants(optional)
250gFrench Camembert,thinly sliced
Method
Preheat the oven to 400°C / 200°C
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the apple slices for 2 minutes.
Place the rolled out puff pastry into a pie pan (the edges will be overhanging). Be careful and make sure there are no holes, otherwise the melting cheese will leak out of the pie when cooking.
Arrange the apple slices in the middle of the puff pastry (sprinkle with the red currants, if using). Then arrange the slices of Camembert on top of the apples.
Neatly fold the four edges of the pastry in towards the middle to enclose the filling.
Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. Let stand for a few minutes before serving warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
