Apple Flory is a traditional Scottish dessert that has been enjoyed for generations. It's a simple yet delicious dessert that combines sweet and tart flavors in a flaky puff pastry. The recipe has been passed down from generation to generation, with each family adding their own unique twist to the dish. Whether served hot or cold, it's the perfect dessert to end any meal.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2.	Peel, core, and slice the granny smith apples into thin slices.

6.	Arrange the apple slices on top of the marmalade in a circular pattern, overlapping them slightly.
7.	Brush the edges of the pastry with milk.
8.	Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
9.	Serve hot or cold with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
