Puff paste may be used; but No. II. pastry (see p. 125) is very satisfactory. It should be rolled very thin. Where a covering of pastry is used, it should be slit across the centre in three places, about two inches long, to allow the steam to escape.

Make three slits about two inches long in the centre of the crust to allow the steam to escape. Bake in a moderate oven. Wellington apples should be used, if possible.
