Directions 1. Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over
medium heat. Add the onion and apples
and sauté until softened and deeply golden
brown, approximately 35 minutes. Add a
pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Off
the heat, add the vinegar and maple syrup.

Set aside to cool.

2. Preheat the oven to 400ºF.

3. Roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle and
score a ½ inch border around the outside.

Brush the egg across the entire pastry,
then brush the apricot preserves inside the
border of the scored edge and arrange slices
of cheese on top. Scatter the onion and
apple mixture over the cheese.

3. Bake for 25-35 minutes or until the pastry is
very puffed and golden brown. T
