This classic Scottish dessert is perfect for serving on a cold winter's day. With a buttery puff pastry crust and a sweet-tart apple filling, the Apple Flory tart is sure to please any dessert lover. The addition of marmalade to the apple filling gives it a unique flavor and jammy texture that sets it apart from other apple tarts. Top it off with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate indulgence.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 375°F.
2.	Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until it is approximately 1/8 inch thick and in the shape of a rectangle.
3.	Cut the edges to make a neat rectangle, then transfer the pastry to a baking sheet.
4.	Peel, core and slice the apples, place them in a saucepan with water, sugar, cinnamon, lemon zest and bring to a boil over a medium heat. Lower the heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the apples are slightly softened.
5.	Add the marmalade and cook for a few more minutes until the mixture is jammy.
6.	Spread the apple mixture evenly over the pastry rectangle, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
7.	Fold the edges of the pastry over to create a crust around the apple mixture and brush the edges with milk.
8.	Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
9.	Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

CONS

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Apples are a good source of fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants, which have been linked to a lower risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer. However, the high sugar and fat content of this dessert may outweigh the potential health benefits of the apple filling.
