Set aside.

Assembly: Preheat oven to 425øF. On a heavily floured surface, roll
out pastry to 16x12" rectangle. Arrange pastry flat on a large baking
sheet. Overlap apple slices in 3 lengthwise rows atop pastry, leaving
a 1" border of pastry on all sides. Fold edge of pastry up to, and
slightly overlapping apples. Press together seams of pastry at
corners to seal. Pinch together and cracks in pastry along edges to
hold in juices. Sprinkle apples with 2 tb sugar. Bake at 425øF for
25-30 minutes until apples are tender and crust is browned. Remove

jam and apricot brandy over medium heat until melted. Press through a
