Critical Success Points

  • Make toffee base without letting butter separate
  • Reduce apple cider to half for proper compote thickness
  • Dock pastry to prevent puffing in the center
  • Do not place hot compote on cold pastry; let compote cool slightly before assembling
  • Bake at high heat initially then finish at 350°F for even puff and browning

Safety Warnings

  • Hot apple cider can splatter – stand back when adding to pan
  • Use oven mitts when handling hot baking sheet
  • Sharp knife – keep fingers curled while slicing apples
