Apple Flory is a classic Scottish dessert that originated in the countryside. It is traditionally made with Bramley apples, but this recipe uses Granny Smith apples for their tartness and firm texture. The filling is cooked down with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon zest to create a thick and fragrant compote that pairs perfectly with the buttery puff pastry. While this dessert may not be the healthiest option, it's a comforting and indulgent treat that's perfect for a cozy night in or a special occasion.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2.	Peel and core the apples, and slice them into thin wedges.
3.	Add the apples, sugar, water, cinnamon, and lemon zest to a pan, and cook over medium heat until the apples are soft and the liquid has thickened, about 10-15 minutes.
4.	Roll out the puff pastry to about 1/4 inch thickness.
5.	Spread the marmalade over the puff pastry, leaving a 1 inch border.
6.	Arrange the cooked apples over the marmalade.
7.	Brush the edges of the pastry with milk.
8.	Bake the tart for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
9.	Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
