Directions

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.

Cook 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with rubbed sage. Place puff pastry over apples, carefully tucking sides in.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until puff pastry is golden brown. Cool on wire rack 5 minutes.

Cooking Tips

To prepare in 9-inch cake pan with 2-inch sides: Reduce cider as directed in large skillet. Stir in 1/2 cup sugar; cook on medium heat 5 minutes or until golden brown. Stir in 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter and 4 teaspoons molasses until well blended. Add 3 apples, peeled, cored and halved; cook and stir 5 minutes. Pour caramel and apples into cake pan. Arrange apples in single layer with cut sides up. Sprinkle with rubbed sage. Place puff pastry over apples, carefully tucking sides in. Place in preheated 375°F oven. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until puff pastry is golden brown. Continue as directed.

Test Kitchen Tip: Serve with Fried Sage Leaves. For the Fried Sage Leaves garnish, heat 1/2 cup vegetable oil in small saucepan on medium-high heat. Fry 4 to 6 sage leaves at a time for 3 seconds or until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Serve with clotted cream or whipped cream, if desired.
