Looking for a quick and easy dessert recipe that's sure to impress? Look no further than this delicious Apple Flory Tart, a traditional Scottish recipe that makes use of tart, juicy Granny Smith apples and buttery puff pastry for a dessert that's as elegant as it is delicious. The apples are cooked with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon zest to create a fragrant, fall-flavored filling that perfectly complements the flaky, buttery crust. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a dessert that's sure to please.

Instructions

1.	Peel the apples and slice them finely, about 1/8 inch thick.
2.	Combine the apples, sugar, water, cinnamon, and lemon zest in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the apples are tender and the liquid has evaporated, about 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently.
3.	Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness. Cut it into a 10-inch circle and then transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4.	Spread marmalade over the center of the pastry, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges. Arrange the cooked apples on top of the marmalade.
5.	Brush the pastry edges with milk and fold them over the apple mixture, crimping to seal them.
6.	Brush the folded edges with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
7.	Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
8.	Let the tart cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
