Roll out a puff pastry on a buttered and slightly sweetened baking sheet (this will caramelise slightly), prick it and arrange the apple slices in a row. Sprinkle with 3 tbsp. brown sugar. Bake for about 30 minutes in a preheated oven at 350°F. Once the pie has cooled, spread the wine jam over the top and sprinkle just the outline with icing sugar.
