1. Put the puff pastry at room temperature to thaw, it may take about half an hour;
2. The waiting time for defrosting can be used to process the apples. Cut the apple in half, core, and slice into thin slices (about 1-2mm in thickness). Do not peel, otherwise the finished product will not look good. Put the cut apple slices into a bowl containing a mixture of lemon juice and water to prevent the apple slices from being oxidized and discolored;
3. Put the bowl with apple slices in the microwave oven for 3 minutes to make the apple slices slightly softer. The same effect can also be achieved by boiling it in a pot;
4. Roll out the dough and make it as thin as possible. Then cut into 5cm x 22cm strips;
