Apple Flory, a Puff Pastry Tart originating from Scotland, is a delectable dessert that's perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth. The tart's crisp and flaky exterior compliments the warm and gooey filling, made from green apples, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon zest. While its indulgent nature makes it a special treat rather than a daily delight, the Apple Flory Tart is the perfect way to end your meal on a sweet note.

Instructions

1.	Peel and core the apples, then chop into small cubes
2.	In a pot, mix together the apples, sugar, water, cinnamon, and lemon zest. Cook on medium heat until the mixture thickens, around 10-15 minutes
3.	Preheat the oven to 400°F
4.	Roll out the puff pastry and cut into 8 equal-sized circles
5.	Spread marmalade on each circle, leaving a small border around the edges
6.	Spoon the apple mixture onto the circles, spreading it evenly
7.	Fold the edges of the pastry up and around the filling, pressing them down gently
8.	Brush the tops with milk and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown
9.	Let cool for a few minutes before serving

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Apples are high in fiber and various vitamins, including Vitamin C. However, the high sugar content and use of puff pastry make this a treat to indulge in occasionally rather than a regular part of a balanced diet.
