Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 200 grams Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 120 milliliters Cold water
- 2 Apple, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, mix until the butter is pea-sized and the mixture is crumbly.
Gradually add cold water, stirring with a fork, until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Shape the dough into a flat disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
While the dough is chilling, prepare the apple filling. In a medium bowl, combine sliced apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the apples.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
After chilling, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle approximately 1/4-inch thick.
Place the apple mixture on one half of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges, and fold the other half over the filling.
Seal the edges by pressing with a fork and make a few slits on top for steam to escape.
Brush the pastry with beaten egg for a golden finish.
Transfer the assembled puff pastry to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free apple puff pastry!
