Ingredients
- 2 apples
- 2 rolls puff pastry
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (or regular brown sugar)
- 1 tablespoon raisins
- 1 tablespoon water
- cinnamon powder
- powdered sugar
Steps
Wash, peel, and dice the apples. Place them in a pan and season with brown sugar and cinnamon powder.
Add the tablespoon of water and cook the apples for about 10/15 minutes.
Add the raisins previously soaked and drained, stir and turn off. (In the tips at the end of the recipe you will find substitutions).
Unroll the puff pastry and, using a coffee plate or a small bowl, cut out shapes.
Make cuts on one side, starting from the center of the circle but not reaching the edge.
Fold each circle in half with the cuts below.
Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of the half-moons and bring one edge to the center.
Close with the other edge.
With a slight pressure to adhere the puff pastry, seal the pastries well to prevent liquid from escaping during baking. Preheat the oven to 356°F and place the tray in the fridge. As soon as the oven reaches temperature, bake for about 18/20 minutes. (depends on the oven and size). Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar.
Tips:
The apple pastries stay perfectly crisp for one day, then naturally, due to the filling, they lose a bit of crunchiness. They are excellent both hot and cold.
Variations:
Instead of raisins, you can use chopped walnuts or hazelnuts.
The sugar amount can be increased to 2 tablespoons.
If you wish, you can add a tablespoon of apricot jam with the apples, skipping the sugar.
