Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 3 Apples
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 30 g Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
Instructions
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small cubes.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Cook the apple mixture for about 10 minutes or until the apples are soft and the mixture is fragrant. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once fully cooked, allow the apple filling to cool completely. Optionally, mash it slightly to achieve your desired consistency.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets if they are not pre-rolled to a thickness of about 3mm.
Cut the pastry into 6-8 squares or circles, about 12cm in diameter each.
Place a generous spoonful of the cooled apple mixture in the center of each pastry piece, leaving enough room around the edges to seal.
Fold the pastry over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Seal the edges by pressing them together with the tines of a fork.
Whisk the egg with a tablespoon of water to make an egg wash and brush it over each pastry. This will give them a golden sheen when baked.
Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Best enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
