Instructions

  1. Cut the apples into thin slices and let them macerate for 1 hour with 40 g of sugar and the Armagnac.
  2. Butter a baking dish and layer 4 sheets of dough, each brushed with butter and sprinkled with sugar, letting them hang over the edges.
  3. Spread the drained apples over the dough, fold the edges over, and cover with the remaining sheets, crumpled into ruffles, buttered, and sprinkled with sugar.
  4. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes at 180°C (350°F) and drizzle with the macerating juices as soon as it comes out of the oven.
