Ingredients:
- Honey

Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) with both top and bottom heat, without a fan.

- Cut the puff pastry into squares that will cover the mounds of apples and almonds. Place each square over the apples and tuck the edges down around the apples.
- Prick the pastry with a fork to allow steam to escape, then brush it with the beaten egg to give it a beautiful golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, and carefully flip each tatin onto a plate so that the apples and almonds are on top.
