1/2 pt Water
12 oz Sugar
4 Apples
4 oz Butter

Peel, core and quarter the apples. Take a deep frying pan and use as a
template to cut out the pastry.

Heat butter in the pan and add the sugar, then stir until the sugar is
melted into the butter.

Neatly arrange the apple quarters, peel side down. Do not stir. Bake in a preheated oven (typically 180–200°C) until the pastry is golden and crisp

Carefully turn out on to a plate, dust with icing sugar and serve with
vanilla ice cream.
