simple, fast and good

Thaw the puff pastry. Rinse a 26 cm diameter pie dish with cold water. Roll out the puff pastry to the size of the dish, place it in the dish, and prick it all over with a fork. Quarter and core the peeled apples, cut them into thick slices, and arrange them on top of the pastry. Pre-bake the pie at 180°C for 10 minutes. In the meantime, beat the other ingredients into a thick cream and pour over the pre-baked pie. Bake for another 20 to 25 minutes, until the top is a lovely light brown. Best enjoyed lukewarm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Tip: For a finer puff pastry base, roll out the puff pastry into several very thin layers. Place the layers on top of each other in the pie dish, brushing each layer (except the top layer) with melted butter.
