Author Notes
I was thinking of the passing of Steve Jobs which lead to my old Mac Classic, which then lead me to apples the edible kind which then in turn got me reminiscing on the apple recipes that I made in my bakery in Stowe, Vermont.
At the time I used to make my own puff pastry, alas the sheeter and the desire are things of the past. I use a good quality puff pastry. The good thing about this recipe is that once the apples are cored it a matter of sprinkling the ingredients, baking and eating. —Judy at My Well Seasoned Life
