How to prepare the Puff Pastry Basket with Apples and Raisins

We begin preparing the puff pastry basket with apples and raisins by soaking the raisins in hot water for 10/15 minutes.
Peel the apple,
cut it into 4 parts, remove the core,
and then cut it into small pieces.
Then place the apple cubes on a small plate, add some ground cinnamon,
some brown or granulated sugar,
the melted butter,
the softened and well-squeezed raisins, mix everything and let it taste.
Unroll the rectangular puff pastry, cut the shorter side in half and the longer one into 3 parts to obtain 6 rectangles.
Cut each rectangle, keeping two corners intact for about 0.8 inches
Now you need to take the right flap and bring it to the opposite side, overlapping it by a few millimeters, and do the same with the left side.
Put a little peach or apricot jam in the center of each basket,
Add the apple pieces and raisins flavored with butter and cinnamon,
add some pine nuts and bake in a preheated static oven at 356°F for 20 minutes.
When the Puff Pastry Baskets with Apples and Raisins are ready, take them out of the oven and let them cool slightly or completely, and dust them with powdered sugar before serving warm or at room temperature.
