Apple Flory is a traditional Scottish dessert consisting of sweetened apples baked in a puff pastry crust. The tartness of the Granny Smith apples is balanced by the sweetness of sugar and marmalade, making for a perfect dessert. While this dish is not the healthiest, it is a delicious treat for a special occasion.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 350°F.
2.	Peel, core and thinly slice the apples. Place in a bowl.
3.	Combine the sugar, water, cinnamon, and lemon zest. Mix well and add to the apples. Stir to coat.
4.	Roll out the puff pastry on a clean, floured surface. Use a fork to prick several times to prevent the pastry from rising too much.
5.	Brush the pastry with the marmalade.
6.	Arrange the apples on top, leaving a small border around the edges.
7.	Brush the milk around the border.
8.	Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and the apples are cooked.
9.	Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream or ice cream.
