Preheat the oven at 180℃. Then in a 14cm skillet pan, add sugar to water and heat until dissolved over medium heat

Meanwhile add apples, vanilla, crystallized ginger, orange rind and lemon juice into a bowl and mix well

Add this to the dissolved sugar mixture and cook for around 10 minutes, stirring occasionally

Cut the pastry to the size of the skilletpan (it can be slightly larger) and place on top of the mixture. (if it is a little bigger then tuck it around the mixture). It might be a lot easier to do this before you start cooking in the pan by turning the pan upside down on top of the pastry and cutting around it with a knife, then you will have the right size

Place the skillet pan in the oven and cook for around 20 to 25 minutes or until the pastry has browned on top. Keep a close eye on it as you don't want to burn it! Let it cool down for around 10 to 15 minutes and then very carefully turn it over onto a plate. Serve immediately!
