This Apple Flory is a traditional Scottish dessert made with granny smith apples cooked in cinnamon and sugar and baked on top of a buttery puff pastry. The combination of the sweet and tangy apples with the crisp and flaky puff pastry creates a mouth-watering dessert that is perfect for any occasion. While it may not be the healthiest dessert option due to its high sugar and calorie content, it is definitely worth indulging in every now and then to satisfy your sweet tooth.
| 1. | Peel the apples, remove the cores and slice very thinly. |
