Ingredients
-
6 tablespoons butter
-
2 large green apples, peeled, seeded and quartered
-
1/4 cup honey
-
1/4 cup brown sugar
-
1/4 cup brandy
-
1 teaspoon cinnamon
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
-
1/2 cup California walnuts, coarsely chopped

1 sheet frozen, thawed puff pastry
HONEY LEMON CREMA
-
1/3 cup Mexican crema

PREPARATION
-
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Unfold pastry and cut into 6 equal pieces. Place on baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
-
While pastry is baking, slice apples 1/8-inch thick starting at the shorter end to make small slices. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add apples and cook for 5 minutes. Add honey, brown sugar, brandy, cinnamon and lemon juice. Cook and stir for 10 minutes more or until apples are soft and sauce is thick and caramel-like (it will thicken more as it cools). Stir in walnuts.
-
Mix Mexican crema with honey and lemon zest.
-
Spoon apple mixture between puff pastry layers and crema. Drizzle with crema.
