Share:
Ingredients
- 8 ounces puff pastry
- 1 pound cooking apples - I used Granny Smith
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon rind, finely grated
- 1 tablespoon orange blossom water or 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fine-cut orange marmalade, plus more for topping
- Caster sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease and flour a baking sheet, or cover with parchment or a silicone baking sheet. Peel, core and slice the apples. Stew them in 1/2 cup of water until tender. Drain well and reserve the cooking juice. Allow to cool completely.
- Put the cooked apple in a bowl and mix in brown sugar, lemon rind, marmalade and optional orange blossom water or cinnamon. Taste and adjust flavoring as needed.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry to 1/8 inch thick and cut the pastry into 8 4-inch squares.
- Divide the apple puree between them, placing it in a line across the center of each square and stopping well short of the ends.
- With a pastry brush, use the reserved apple cooking liquid to dampen the edges of the pastry.
- Fold the two edges parallel with the line of filling over the puree. Pinch and seal the edges together with a fork, forming a tube.
- Pinch and seal the ends of the tube together and use a fork to seal shut.
- Brush the pastry lightly with the reserved apple cooking liquid and sprinkle with caster sugar.
- Using a sharp knife, gently cut vents into the top of the pastries.
- Place the puffs on the greased or lined baking sheet and bake for 20 - 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve warm, topped with a little extra marmalade or candied orange peel.
Notes
- You will also need: Baking sheet, nonstick cooking spray or parchment or a silicone baking sheet, mixing bowl, pastry brush
