Ingredients

• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 3 Apples
• 50 g Granulated sugar
• 30 g Butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1 Egg
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Peel, core, and dice the apples into small cubes.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Cook the apple mixture for about 10 minutes or until the apples are soft and the mixture is fragrant. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Once fully cooked, allow the apple filling to cool completely. Optionally, mash it slightly to achieve your desired consistency.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets if they are not pre-rolled to a thickness of about 3mm.

Step 7

Cut the pastry into 6-8 squares or circles, about 12cm in diameter each.

Step 8

Place a generous spoonful of the cooled apple mixture in the center of each pastry piece, leaving enough room around the edges to seal.

Step 9

Fold the pastry over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Seal the edges by pressing them together with the tines of a fork.

Step 10

Whisk the egg with a tablespoon of water to make an egg wash and brush it over each pastry. This will give them a golden sheen when baked.

Step 11

Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.

Step 12

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Best enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
