This apple pie with puff pastry and jam is an incredibly quick recipe and a must-try. Two layers of puff pastry enclose a soft and fragrant heart of apple and cinnamon, so no dough, just puff pastry, apples, pine nuts, and jam.
An easy apple pie, perfect for an afternoon snack, morning breakfast, or as a dessert at the end of a meal, perhaps accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Once out of the oven, let it cool a bit, dust it lightly with powdered sugar, and enjoy it warm: it’s mouthwatering!
Let’s prepare it together! See you soon, Susy.

Ingredients for the Apple Pie with Puff Pastry and Jam
- 2 sheets puff pastry
- 2 apples (large)
- 3 tablespoons apricot jam
- 0.7 oz pine nuts
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 lemon juice
- 1 egg (beaten)
Preparing the Apple Pie with Puff Pastry and Jam
Wash and peel the apples, cut them into pieces, and place them in a bowl with the juice of one lemon and a tablespoon of ground cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.
Unroll the puff pastry and place it with its parchment paper on a 9.5-inch pan. Neatly arrange the edges, poke the surface, add the jam (I used apricot), then the apples, and cover with the other sheet of pastry.
Brush the surface with a beaten egg, poke it with a fork, and bake in the oven at 375°F for 35/40 minutes. Cooking time is indicative and varies from oven to oven; the pie is well-cooked when the surface is beautifully golden.
Once cooked, decorate with a dusting of powdered sugar.
Storage
You can store the pie covered under a cake dome for a couple of days. My advice is to enjoy it on the same day, as it will lose the classic crispness of the pastry.
