4. Drain, reserving any liquid. Cool completely.
5. Heat oven to 400°F.
6. Mash the sliced apples to pulp with a fork with a little sugar, the lemon rind and marmalade. Mix thoroughly, and add a little extra sugar if needed.
7. Cut the chilled pastry into 4-inch squares.
8. Place a line of apple mixture 2 inches long and about 3A inch wide across the center of each square.
9. Damp the edges of the pastry squares.
10. Fold over and pinch together the edges parallel with the line of filling, so that it is covered.
11. Pinch together and flute the ends of the tube- like puffs too.
12. Brush the tops of the puffs with the reserved apple liquid (or with water) and sprinkle with sugar.
13. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet, spaced well apart.
