Instructions
- Mix sugar and melted butter and press evenly into greased 8" or 9" round cake pan.
- Put apples on their sides in rows decoratively around pan, packing closely together and filling small spaces with broken segments of apples.
- Sprinkle tops of apples lightly with cinnamon if desired.
- Bake uncovered at 425F about 1-1 ½ hours.
- If apples start to burn, they can be covered toward the end of the baking time.
- Meanwhile, unfold pastry sheet and cut to fit pan. Use another pan to trace shape if necessary.
- Poke fork holes into both sides of puff pastry sheet to allow air to escape while baking.
- Press pastry on top of baked apples, pushing edges down. Bake another 20 minutes.
- Cool partially, then invert to a platter. Serve warm.
