Dot with butter. Roll out puff pastry and cover with apples and tuck in edges of crust. Bake at 400˚ until bubbly and crust is brown (45-60 minutes).

History:
Odile served this to us the first time we met. It is a Normande specialty. I watched her make this writing down the ingredients as she worked. It is quite simple to make and very good.
