Puff Pastry

Flour work surface and roll out puff pastry into a 3mm thick sheet. Prick dough with a fork, and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Cut pastry into a 8-inch/20 cm round, and freeze until ready to use.

Apple Compote

Peel core and quarter apples. Cover and microwave on full blast for 10 min or until cooked through. Transfer cooked apples onto a large frying pan. Break down apples with a spatula, add sugar and cook for about 10 minutes on medium heat. Stir in a few drops of lemon juice. Add more sugar to taste if needed. Refrigerate before using.

Fill the middle of the pie with apple scraps. Brush the first apple row with the cinnamon flavored butter. Make another row and season with the remaining butter sauce.
