Apple flory is a well-loved Scottish dessert that will surely make your taste buds dance with delight. This dessert is widely popular across Scotland and can be served on many occasions, such as weddings, birthdays, and more. Apple flory is made with just a handful of simple ingredients, including granny smith apples, puff pastry, marmalade, and a mix of cinnamon and lemon zest. The combination of tart apples and sweet marmalade, all wrapped up in a buttery pastry crust, creates an extremely more-ish dessert that is sure to please everyone.

Instructions

1.	Cut the granny smith apples into bite-size pieces and mix them with granulated sugar, water, cinnamon and lemon zest in a pan over medium heat.
2.	Cook the mixture for about 10 minutes, stirring regularly, until the apples have softened and the sugar has dissolved. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
3.	Roll out your puff pastry and cut it into a circle shape that's large enough to fit your baking dish. Place the pastry circle in the dish, leaving any excess pastry hanging over the edges.
4.	Spread the cooked apple mixture evenly over the pastry.
5.	Preheat your oven to 400°F.
6.	Spread marmalade over the apple mixture.
7.	Brush the excess pastry with milk to create a golden finish when baking.
8.	Fold the pastry edges neatly over the apple mixture and brush with more milk.
9.	Bake the tart in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden. Serve warm.
