Ingredients

• 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet
• 3 medium Apples (such as Gala or Fuji)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine the diced apples, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and the mixture is thick, about 10 minutes.

Step 4

Add the unsweetened applesauce to the apple mixture and stir until well combined. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 5

Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thick. Cut the pastry into 6 equal squares or circles.

Step 6

Place a spoonful of the apple mixture onto one half of each pastry square or circle, leaving a border around the edges.

Step 7

Brush the edges of the pastry with a little of the beaten egg. Fold the pastry over to enclose the filling and press the edges together firmly to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative finish.

Step 8

Place the sealed pastries onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg to give a golden finish.

Step 9

Using a sharp knife, make a small slit or a few small slits on the top of each pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Allow the Chaussons aux Pommes to cool slightly before serving.
