Notes
- Crumple parchment paper into a ball, then straighten out, this makes it much more pliable to work with when placing it on your pan.
- For this recipe, don't quite caramelize all the way to avoid getting too dark in the oven.
- Make sure to use Greek yogurt because of its thickness. Sour Cream is a great substitute.
- Don’t forget to poke holes in the dough! This will allow the steam to escape, which keeps it level and prevents it from puffing up too tall as it bakes.
- Apples can be diced instead of sliced if you prefer.
- For a variation, try some cheese. Reduce or omit the yogurt and dot the caramelized onion puff pastry with a little gorgonzola or goat cheese.
