Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package Puff pastry sheet
- 2 pieces Apple (medium-sized)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 1 piece Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Take a puff pastry sheet out of the freezer and let it thaw according to package instructions. Once thawed, lightly dust a clean surface with flour and roll out the pastry to a 12-inch square.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the puff pastry into 9 equal squares (about 4 inches each).
Peel, core, and finely dice the apples into small cubes. Place the diced apples in a mixing bowl.
Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon to the apples. Toss the mixture until the apple pieces are evenly coated in the sugar and spice.
Heat the butter in a small skillet over medium heat until melted. Add the apple mixture to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples soften slightly. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool for 5 minutes.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the apple filling into the center of each pastry square.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the edges of each pastry square with the egg wash.
Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle, sealing the edges by pressing gently with a fork.
Place the sealed pastry squares on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Use a sharp knife to make a small slit on the top of each pastry to allow steam to escape.
Brush the tops of the pastries with the remaining egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed.
Remove the apple puff squares from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
