This showstopping dessert is so easy to make, you’ll definitely impress your friends and family. And what’s more, it’s delicious too! It looks really colourful if you choose red skinned apples like Pink Lady or Braeburn. Serve warm from the oven or make in advance and serve at room temperature.
Top tip - remove the pastry from the box in advance to allow it to come to room temperature and it will be much easier to unroll.
