Ingredients
- 2 apples
- 2 rolls puff pastry
- 1 tbsp brown sugar (or regular brown)
- 1 tbsp raisins
- 1 tbsp water
- ground cinnamon
- powdered sugar
Steps
Wash, peel, and dice the apples. Place them in a pan and season with brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
Add the tablespoon of water and cook the apples for about 10/15 minutes.
Add the pre-soaked and squeezed raisins, mix, and turn off the heat. (Find substitutions in the tips at the end of the recipe).
Unroll the puff pastry and, using a coffee plate or a small bowl, cut out shapes.
Make cuts on one side only, starting from the center of the circle but not reaching the edge.
Fold each circle in half with the cuts at the bottom.
Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of the half-moons and bring one flap to the center.
Close with the other flap.
With a slight pressure to adhere the puff pastry, seal the pastries well to prevent liquid from leaking during cooking. Preheat the oven to 350°F and place the tray in the fridge. As soon as the oven reaches the temperature, bake for about 18/20 minutes. (depends on the oven and size). Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar.
Tips:
The apple pastries remain perfectly crispy for a day, then obviously, due to the filling, they lose some crunchiness. They are excellent both hot and cold.
Variations:
Instead of raisins, you can add chopped walnuts or hazelnuts.
The amount of sugar can be increased to 2 tablespoons.
If desired, you can add a tablespoon of apricot jam together with the apples, eliminating the need for sugar.
