Apple Flory is a traditional Scottish dessert that has been enjoyed for centuries. It is made with puff pastry filled with sweet and tart granny smith apples, making it the perfect balance of flavors. This dish is easy to make and can be served as a dessert or a snack. The addition of cinnamon adds a warm and cozy touch, making it the perfect addition to any fall or winter gathering.
