Ingredients

• 2 sheets Unsalted puff pastry sheets
• 4 medium Apples (preferably Granny Smith)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the diced apples, lemon juice, and granulated sugar to the pan.

Step 4

Cook the apple mixture for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and slightly caramelized.

Step 5

Remove the pan from heat and stir in the ground cinnamon and vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 6

Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Using a 5-inch round cutter, cut out circles from the puff pastry. You should get about four circles per sheet.

Step 7

Place a tablespoon of the apple filling on one half of each pastry circle, leaving a small border around the edge.

Step 8

In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush the edges of the pastry circles with the egg wash.

Step 9

Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to form a semi-circle and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges.

Step 10

Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 11

Make a small slit on the top of each pastry with a sharp knife to let steam escape.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed up.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
