- Turn out onto floured surface. Roll onto 9 x 7-inch (23 x 18 cm) rectangle; mix in half to make 7 x 4- inch (18 x 10 cm) rectangle. Rotate pastry 90 degrees. Repeat rolling and folding once. Wrap in plastic wrap; chill for 3 hrs.

- Almond Filling: In food processor, pulse almonds with icing sugar till combined. Add in butter, lemon rind, almond extract and vanilla; combine well. Chill for 2 hrs or possibly till well chilled.
- Caramelized Apples and Sauce: In large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice; set aside. In large skillet, heat sugar over medium-high heat till melted and amber colour. Add in apples; cook, stirring often, for 5 - 10 min or possibly till tender but still hard. Drain in colander set over bowl, reserving juices. Chill apples.
- In small saucepan, cook reserved juice from apples over medium-high heat for about 4 min or possibly till thickened and syrupy. Add in cream; cook for about 5 min or possibly till reduced by half.
- On lightly floured surface, roll out pastry to 1/8-inch (3 mm) thickness. Cut out eight 5-inch (12 cm) rounds; place on parchment paper-lined baking sheet and freeze till hard.
