Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package Puff Pastry Sheets
- 3 medium Apples
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 2 tablespoons Swerve Confectioners (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel, core, and slice the apples thinly. Place them in a bowl and toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Add ground cinnamon and vanilla extract to the apples and mix well so that slices are evenly coated.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the seasoned apples and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to smoothen the creases, if necessary.
Cut the sheet into six equal rectangles and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Spoon the apple mixture evenly onto the center of each pastry rectangle.
In a small bowl, beat together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Brush the edges of each pastry rectangle with the egg wash using a pastry brush.
Fold the pastry over the apples and seal the edges with a fork or your fingers by pressing lightly.
Optional: For added sweetness without sugar, dust each pastry with a small amount of Swerve Confectioners.
Brush the tops of the pastries with the remaining egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your sugar-free apple puff pastries warm or at room temperature.
