Preparing the dough

Using a pastry brush, lightly brush a sheet of parchment paper with butter.
Roll out your dough and cut it if necessary with a sharp knife without pressing too hard, so as not to crush the puff pastry.
Then place your circle of puff pastry on the buttered and sugared sheet.
Reserve in the refrigerator while you prepare the apples.

Preparing the apples

Peel the Golden apples, then cut them into thin slices using a mandolin.
Arrange the apple slices in a rosette shape on the dough, placing them about 2 cm from the edge.
Brush the apples lightly with melted butter then sprinkle with brown sugar.

The tasting

And there you have it, it's ready! Let it cool slightly before enjoying your delicious apple pie.
Grandma Chantal’s tip: And for an even more indulgent touch, serve with a spoonful of thick cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream (yum!)
