Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Puff pastry sheets (thawed)
- 2 pieces Apples (medium, peeled, cored, and diced)
- 200 grams Cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 piece Egg (beaten for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until the apples are evenly coated. Set aside.
Unroll the puff pastry sheets on a clean, lightly floured surface and cut each sheet into three equal rectangles, yielding six total pieces.
Spread a thin layer of cream cheese on one half of each puff pastry rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
Spoon the apple mixture over the cream cheese layer, dividing it equally among the six pieces.
Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling to create a sealed pocket, and press the edges firmly together with a fork to seal.
Brush the top of each pocket with the beaten egg to create a shiny, golden finish during baking.
Using a sharp knife, make two small slits on the top of each pocket to allow steam to escape while baking.
Place the filled and sealed pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
Enjoy your Portable Apple Cheese Pleasers warm or at room temperature!
