Instructions

Step 1

Cut the puff pastry dough into squares and roll them out slightly.

Add the apples, cut into small cubes, to the saucepan.
Cook gently until the apples become translucent, then add the sugar and cinnamon.
Simmer for a bit longer and then turn off the heat.
Place the filling onto the pastry squares.
Make cuts on one side of the pastry, then fold it over to cover the filling.
Brush with beaten egg.
Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes.

Variations

If you or your guests have dietary restrictions, don't worry! Here are some gluten-free and vegan variations so everyone can enjoy these tasty pastries:

Gluten-Free Variation: Swap out the puff pastry dough with a gluten-free version available at most grocery stores. Ensure the filling ingredients are also gluten-free to avoid any issues. 🍃

Vegan Variation: Use a vegan puff pastry and brush with a plant-based milk instead of egg wash. Substitute the butter with coconut oil or vegan butter for the filling. 🌱

Faq

  • How do I prevent my puff pastry from getting soggy?

    Ensure your apple filling isn't too wet. Cook off the excess moisture, and let it cool before placing it onto the pastry squares.

  • Can I make the pastry dough from scratch?

    Yes, but using store-bought puff pastry saves time while still giving excellent results.

  • What’s the best way to store leftover pastries?

    Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can also freeze them for up to a month.

  • Can I prepare the filling in advance?

    Absolutely! You can make the filling a day ahead and store it in the refrigerator. Just bring it to room temperature before using.

  • How do I get a good rise on my puff pastry?

    Make sure your oven is fully preheated and avoid opening the door while baking. The initial blast of heat helps the layers rise properly.

  • What’s the secret to getting a shiny glaze?

    Use a beaten egg for brushing, and if you want an extra shiny finish, brush them twice—once before and once midway through baking.
