Ingredients to make Apple and Jam Puff Pastries

1 roll puff pastry (rectangular)
2 pcs apples
1 lemon (juice and zest)
to taste ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon brown sugar
to taste egg (beaten for finishing)
to taste powdered sugar
to taste pine nuts (or almond flakes)
3 cookies
1/4 cup jam (or jam of your choice)

Tools

Baking sheet
Oven
Bowl

Preparation

To make the apple and jam puff pastries you should choose sweet and fragrant apples, then peel and slice them (in the photos you see 4 apples because I made a double batch). Sprinkle them with lemon juice and grate some lemon zest over them, then mix.
Unroll the puff pastry, spread the orange jam (I prefer it because it’s more aromatic) and then arrange the apple slices, but only on one half. Sprinkle with cinnamon,
a sprinkle of brown sugar and cover with the crumbled cookies so they can absorb the excess moisture. Fold like an envelope to form a rectangle, seal the edges by folding them inward forming a cord. Brush with beaten egg and
with a sharp knife make cuts to form small squares. Bake in a preheated oven at 392°F for 20-25 minutes, conventional (no fan) setting. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly and serve after dusting with powdered sugar. If necessary, if the squares have stuck together, run the knife between them to separate. The apple and jam puff pastries can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
