Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Apples (medium-sized, firm, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets (thawed)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 piece Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and flour. Toss until the apple pieces are evenly coated with the mixture.
Unroll the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 6 equal squares, giving you 12 squares total.
Place a spoonful of the spiced apple mixture in the center of each pastry square.
Brush the edges of each pastry square with melted butter to help seal them. Fold the pastry over the filling to create a triangle or pouch shape and pinch the edges tightly to seal. Use the tines of a fork to press around the edges, if desired, for a decorative seal.
Transfer the filled pastries to the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each bite.
Brush the tops of each apple bite with the beaten egg for a shiny, golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed up.
Remove the apple bites from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving for a touch of sweetness.
Serve warm, and enjoy these delicious Hot Apple Bites!
