Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 230C. Peel 2 apples and cut each into 8 pieces. Remove the core, place in a saucepan with the water, and cover and cook until tender. Mash and allow to cool.
  2. Roll out the pastry to 2 mm thick and cut into 8 squares of roughly 10 cm. Place pastry squares on an oven tray and prick each square with a fork to prevent shrinkage. Refrigerate. Peel and halve the remaining apples, remove the core and cut apples into 2 mm-thick slices.
  3. Remove the pastry from the fridge. Stir the cream into the apple puree. Spread a layer of the puree over the pastry to within 1 cm of the edge. Starting from the outside, arrange and overlap the apple slices on the pastry. Sprinkle caster sugar on top and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp, and the edges of the apple are lightly browned. The base of the pastry should also be dry and lightly browned.
  4. Dust with icing sugar and serve hot or cold.
