- 1 Preheat oven to 400°F. Bring cider to boil in 10-inch cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium; cook 10 minutes or until reduced by half. Stir in sugar; cook 5 minutes or until caramel begins to brown. Stir in butter and molasses until well blended. Carefully place apples, cut sides up, in caramel, packing them tightly. Cook 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with rubbed sage. Place puff pastry over apples, carefully tucking sides in.

Apples should be on top and the puff pastry forming the crust. Cool to room temperature. Garnish with Fried Sage Leaves, if desired. Serve with clotted cream or whipped cream, if desired.
