  • Roll into a 2.5cm thick rectangle and chill for 20 minutes.
  • Roll pastry into a 40x20cm rectangle on a floured surface.
  • Fold into thirds, turn 90 degrees, and repeat rolling and folding.
  • Repeat the folding process to achieve four total turns.
  • Wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 220°C.
  • Roll pastry to 4mm thickness, cut into three 7.5x15cm rectangles, and dust with icing sugar.
  • Bake pastry for 15 minutes while preparing the filling.
  • Sauté apples in butter, then add 45ml water.
  • Simmer with vanilla, blackberries, and lemon juice until pulpy.
  • Cool the fruit mixture in the fridge.
  • Whisk double cream until firm peaks form and transfer to a piping bag.
  • Slice-cooled pastry sheets in half widthways to create thin rectangles.
