3-4 large Granny Smith apples
4 tbsp butter
3 tbsp sugar

Remove from oven and put one sheet of rolled-out puff pastry dough on top, cutting edges and then tucking them under the apples around edge. Bake in oven for 20 minutes at 425 degrees. Remove from oven and place large serving plate on top and flip over. Drizzle warm rum over the top and serve each piece with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
