How to Prepare Apple and Chocolate Puff Pastry Triangles
Start preparing the apple and chocolate puff pastry triangles by making the filling: peel the apples and remove the core. Cut them into cubes.
Melt the butter in a pan with the brown sugar and add the apple cubes and cinnamon. In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch with a teaspoon of lemon juice and a tablespoon of water, and when the apples are soft, pour the mixture over the apples. Stir and let cool.
Divide a rectangular puff pastry roll into six squares. Fill each one in the center with one or two tablespoons of apples.
Place a piece of chocolate on the apples.
Close each square forming a triangle and seal the edges well with the prongs of a fork.
Brush the apple puff pastry triangles with cold milk or a beaten egg
Bake at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes until the puff pastry triangles are golden brown and crispy. Take them out of the oven and once cool, you can decorate them with chocolate sauce or powdered sugar.
Simo and Cicci recommend
You can store the puff pastry triangles for 2-3 days well closed in an airtight container or alternatively, you can freeze them even raw.
You can also add raisins or dried cranberries or dried fruits like chopped hazelnuts, walnuts, or almonds to the apple filling.
We used milk chocolate, but you can use any type of chocolate you prefer.
For decoration, you can use ready-made chocolate sauce or simply melt some chocolate in a bain-marie or microwave and pour it over the triangles.
