Apple Flory is a traditional Scottish dessert that features sweet and tangy apples baked into a flaky puff pastry crust. This dish is perfect for a cozy winter evening or as a sweet treat year-round. The combination of tart apples and sweet marmalade make for a delicious and indulgent dessert. However, it is important to note that this dish may be high in calories and sugar, and should be enjoyed in moderation.

1.	Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
2.	Peel the apples and cut them into small chunks.
3.	Put the chopped apples in a pan with the sugar, water, cinnamon and lemon zest. Heat gently and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes or until the apples are soft and a thick sauce is formed.

5.	Cut the pastry into a circle big enough to fit into a 23cm tart tin.
6.	Press the pastry into the tart tin.
7.	Spread the marmalade over the pastry base.
8.	Spoon the apple mixture into the tart.
9.	Brush the edges of the pastry with milk.
