Step 1
1. The apples need to be washed and the core removed. Slice the apples into thin wedges. Rinse the raisins and soak them in warm water for about 15–20 minutes. In a separate bowl, combine the sliced apples, juice squeezed from half a lemon, brandy, the prepared raisins, brown sugar, caramel, melted butter, and spices.

2. If you have puff pastry in sheets, take two sheets. If, however, you have regular puff pastry yeast or non‑yeast dough, divide it into two parts and roll out two sheets as thin as possible. Butter the sheet with butter. Divide the prepared gingerbread crumbs into two parts and sprinkle half onto the buttered surface of the dough. Butter the second sheet as well and sprinkle the remaining crumbs of the biscuit.
