      I’ve tried it. The pastry was so dry.
      Do you think we should put a little bit of butter in between each layer?
      How many layer or sheet of pastry dough should we use?
      I like the idea and the picture of the pie very nice but didn’t turn out very good cause it was to dry.
      Thanks.

        Hi Carole, I do not fully understand your question. The recipe calls for one sheet/one layer of puff pastry. How many did you use? With one layer of puff pastry, it should be the opposite of dry. Please let me know if this answers your question; otherwise, please elaborate. I do hope it turns out better next time! 😉
        All the best,
        Aline 💕
