    25 g butter
    40 g sugar
    400 g of Boskop (or other tart) apples
    100 g Alma Vorarlberg mountain cheese
    1 package puff pastry
    coarsely ground black pepper

    1. Preheat the oven to 220° C
    2. Peel and core the apples and cut them into circa 3 cm slices.
    3. Melt butter in a pan and cook with sugar, stirring constantly, until a light fragrant caramel is produced.
    4. Place the apple pieces closely together and upright in the caramel and place the pan in the hot oven for 5 minutes.
    5. In the meantime, cut the mountain cheese into 5 mm thick pieces and roll out the puff pastry to a thickness of approx. 5 mm.
    6. Place the cheese slices on top of the apples.
    7. Cut the puff pastry slightly larger than the pan, puncture several times with a fork, place on top of the apples and tuck in the edges around the fruit.
