Apple Flory is a classic Scottish dessert that showcases the versatility and deliciousness of puff pastry. This sweet and crispy tart is filled with juicy slices of granny smith apples that are cooked in a cinnamon syrup and spread with tangy marmalade. The pastry is then folded over the apples to create a border and baked until golden brown. The result is a mouth-watering treat that pairs well with a cup of tea or coffee. Whether you're hosting a brunch, afternoon tea, or a dinner party, Apple Flory is sure to impress your guests with its simplicity and flavor.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan) / 400°F (350°F fan).
2.	Peel, core, and slice the apples.
3.	In a pan, combine sliced apples, sugar, water, ground cinnamon, and lemon zest. Cook over medium heat for 6-7 minutes or until the apples are softened and the liquid has reduced to a syrup.
4.	On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to a thickness of about 3mm. Cut into 8 equal rectangles.
5.	Spread the marmalade over each rectangle, leaving a 1cm border around the edges. Arrange the apple slices on top of the marmalade.
6.	Brush the edges of the pastry with milk and fold them over the apples to form a border. Brush the pastry with the remaining milk.
7.	Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
8.	Serve warm or cold, dusted with icing sugar.
