Instructions
Firstly peel and core the apples and cut into wedges. There is no need to be too precise about sizes. Gently melt the 40g of unsalted butter with the 25g of castor sugar in a heavy bottomed saute pan. Now add the apple pieces and saute gently until they start to brown and caramelise. Add a splash of Armagnac about a minute before finishing. Flambe if you wish. Set aside to cool a little.
Pre-heat the oven to 140 degrees C.
Now take a sheet of filo and brush it lightly all over with some of the melted butter and then lightly sprinkle with castor sugar. Using an 8 inch or 20cms shallow cake tin (preferably with a removable base) centre the pastry over the tin and gently push it down the sides leaving plenty of over-hang. Now repeat with another sheet and this time place it at 45 degrees to the first sheet so the corners do not correspond with each other.
Arrange the apples inside so there is an equal covering.
Now repeat the stage again with another filo sheet except this time cut into four equal pieces. Take each piece and fold it gently so that all four corners stand up almost touching. Keep repeating this with the other pieces and start to arrange them on top of the apples with the pointed corners pointing to the sky. You should be able to repeat this again and again with another five or six sheets cut into quarters. Just have fun and be creative. It's actually quite satisfying.
When the Croustade looks roughly like the photo above you are ready to place it in the oven. Cook it for 20 to 30 minutes watching it carefully. You want it to be golden brown but be careful as it will darken quite rapidly at the end. Take it out when you think it looks right.
Let the Croustade cool completely and dust generously with icing sugar and serve alone or with cream or ice-cream.
