We let the mix briefly to wait. Peel and cut apples into small pieces. Spread in the baking pan with greaseproof paper and place the sheet puff pastry on top.

Sprinkle a little sugar and cinnamon. Cut everything overflowing from the paper and pastry. Put it on the bottom rack of the oven at 180°C/ 350°F/ Gas mark 4, for one hour.
