Assembly
Roll out the pastry to a thickness of 1.5 mm and a width of around 40 cm.
Mark out 5.5 cm intervals (using a pastry wheel cutter) and moisten the pastry using a brush.
Place the apple compote on the rst half and fold over the second half of the pastry (as you would for a classic apple turnover).
Seal the edges. Cut the ballet slippers using a knife and create the rounded shape using a 7 cm pastry cutter.
Leave to rest in the refrigerator.
Coat (using a brush) the at side of the ballet slipper with softened butter, then sprinkle brown sugar over the top.
Place the ballet slippers sugar-face down on a baking tray.
Prick and place on a baking tray in a fan oven at 200°C / 392°F for 5 minutes and nish off at 165°C / 329°F for 25 minutes.
