1
Thaw the puff pastry in the refrigerator overnight.
2
The next day, roll it out slightly to make it more flat, even and square.

4
Chill it while you make the filling.
5
Place the applesauce in a saucepan with the lemon juice, cinnamon, brandy, and lemon rind.
6
Stir and bring to a simmer, then cook down to 3/4 cup.
7
Spread it on a sheet pan to cool it to room temperature.
8
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
9
Take out the puff pastry and spread the reduced applesauce on it to cover the surface of the pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch edge.
10
Fan the apple slices in concentric circles over the applesauce decoratively.
11
Sprinkle all over evenly and lightly with sugar then dot it with butter.
12
Bake for 25 to 35 minutes until the apples are tender and the edges are golden brown.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
