Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
• 6 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.33333334326744 cup water

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Stir together brown sugar, water, and flour in a large bowl until smooth. Add the apples, pecans, and dried fruit; toss in the brown sugar mixture until well coated. Pour into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Cut the puff pastry into ten 1-inch strips with a pizza cutter. Lay 5 of the strips over the apples lengthwise, and cut the remaining 5 strips in half. Place the 10 smaller strips over the apples widthwise to create the lattice. Stir together the white sugar and cinnamon, and sprinkle over the lattice.

Step 3

Bake in preheated oven until the apple mixture is bubbling, and the lattice is golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes.
