Cooking instruction summary:

Procedures 1 Place a silicon baking mat (such as a Silpat) or a large sheet of parchment paper on a flat work surface, and have ready another mat or sheet of parchment paper. Place the sugar in a heavy saucepan and add enough water to cover the sugar. Cook the sugar, without stirring, until it turns into a dark caramel, about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of the butter and cinnamon. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the caramel and stir to blend. Pour the caramel mixture onto the center of the mat or parchment paper on the work surface, then place the second mat or sheet of parchment paper on top. Using a rolling pin, flatten the caramel carefully and allow it to cool and set. Break the caramel mixture into small pieces, then place them in a food processor and grind them into a fine powder. 2 Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly coat an 8-inch round cake pan with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and sprinkle in a little of the cinnamon-caramel powder. Slice the apples crosswise, as thinly as possible. Arrange half of the apple slices over the cinnamon-caramel powder in the pan, forming one layer and overlapping slightly. Cover the apples with a few spoonfuls of the cinnamon-caramel powder and repeat with the remaining apple slices and caramel powder. 3 Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour, or until the apples are cooked through, tender, and just slightly caramelized. Remove the foil and bake an additional 20 minutes, allowing the excess moisture to evaporate. Transfer the pan to a rack and allow the apples to cool. Meanwhile, increase the oven temperature to 400°F. 4 Place the cold puff pastry round, centered, on top of the pan over the cooled apples. Cover with a large sheet of parchment paper and top with a baking sheet, then invert the apple cake onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. If necessary, recenter the inverted cake pan on top of the puff pastry dough, leaving a 1-inch border of dough around the pan. Remove the cake pan, revealing the layers of baked apples. Lightly brush the exposed dough with the beaten egg and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and has puffed evenly around the apple filling. Cool slightly, then slice into wedges and serve.

Food Joke

A husband is at home watching a football game when his Wife interrupts, "Honey, could you fix the light in the hallway? It's been flickering for weeks now." He looks at her and says angrily, "Fix the light? Now? Does it look like I have a G.E. logo printed on my forehead? I don't think so." "Well then, could you fix the fridge door? It won't close properly." To which he replies, "Fix the fridge door? Does it look like I have a Westinghouse logo printed on my forehead? I don't think so." "Fine," she says, "Then, would you at least fix the steps to the front door? They're a mess and a real hazard." "I'm not a damn carpenter and I don't want to fix the steps," he says. "Does it look like I have a Black and Decker logo printed on my forehead? I don't think so." He continued, "In fact, I've had enough of all your Bickering. I'm going to the bar!" So, the pleasant husband goes to the bar and drinks for a couple hours. Sometime later, he starts to feel guilty about his treatment of his wife, so he decides to return home and help out with the chores. As he walks into the house, he notices the steps have been repaired. Then, as he enters the house, he notices the hall light is working again. And, to top it off, when he goes to get a beer from the fridge, he notices the fridge door has been fixed. "Honey, how'd this all get fixed?" His wife replies, "Well, when you left, I sat outside and cried. Just then, a nice young man asked me what was wrong, and I told him. He offered to do all the repairs, and all I had to do was either have sex with him or bake him a cake." "So, what kind of cake did you bake him?" asks the husband. "Hellooooooo!" she replies emphatically, "Do you see a Betty Crocker logo printed on my forehead? I don't think so!"
