Puff pastry with apples

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make apple puffs? First of all, remove the puff pastry from the freezer and let it thaw at room temperature. Meanwhile, get busy preparing the filling. For the filling, take sweet and sour apples. Wash them, remove the core from them and cut into cubes.

2. Step 2:

   

   Heat the frying pan to a hot state. Melt the butter on it and add sugar. Make sure that the sugar does not start to burn.

3. Step 3:

   

   Pour the sliced apples into the pan. Mix everything well. When frying, the apples will release juice and it will seem that the mass has become liquid.

4. Step 4:

   

   Continue to simmer the apples over medium heat until the liquid evaporates and the apples become soft. Then remove the pan from the heat and cool the apple filling.

6. Step 5:

   

   Roll out the defrosted, soft puff pastry a little and cut into rectangles of approximately the same size. Make incisions on half of all rectangles, as in the photo.

7. Step 6:

   

   Put a couple of spoonfuls of apple filling on the second half. Don't spare the stuffing. It is already boiled and, therefore, almost nothing will flow out of it when baking. Cover the apples with the second half of the dough, the one with the incisions, and pinch at the edges.

8. Step 7:

   

   Place the puffs on a baking sheet covered with baking paper. Brush the puffs with yolk on top and sprinkle a little sugar. Put them to bake in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 20-30 minutes. The finished puffs will increase slightly in size and acquire a pleasant golden hue. Remove the finished puffs from the oven and cool slightly. Help yourself and treat your family and friends. Bon appetit!
