Apple Flory is a variation of the traditional Scottish dessert, apple pie, where instead of using a shortcrust pastry, it utilizes puff pastry which gives it a lighter and flakier texture. This recipe also adds a touch of orange marmalade to give it a citrusy twist. The apple compote is made with Granny Smith apples, which add a tart and tangy flavor to the dish. This dessert is perfect for any occasion and can be served warm or at room temperature. It is simple to make and takes about an hour to prepare and bake.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 375°F
2.	Peel and core the apples and cut into chunks
3.	In a large saucepan, combine the apples, sugar, cinnamon, water, and lemon zest
4.	Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and the mixture has thickened, about 15-20 minutes
5.	Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a 10-inch circle
6.	Transfer the pastry to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper
7.	Spread the marmalade over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge
8.	Spoon the apple compote over the marmalade
9.	Fold the edges of the pastry up and over the filling, pleating it as you go
10.	Brush the edges of the pastry with milk
11.	Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp
12.	Serve hot or at room temperature
