Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

• 2 sheets puff pastry
• 1 large apple

Spices and Sauces:

• 50 g butter
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 4-5 teaspoons sugar
• 30 ml juice (apple, orange, or lemon/lime)

Preparation Time

Total Time: 50 minutes

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Begin by taking the puff pastry sheets out of the freezer to thaw. For best results, use Rimi puff pastry as it tends to produce fluffier pastries.
2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in ground cinnamon and sugar until well combined. Set this mixture aside for later use.
3. Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Grease a baking pan or tray with some of the melted butter mixture.
4. Now that the pastry is thawed and pliable, cut each sheet in half. Then, cut each half diagonally to produce triangles.
5. Peel, core, and slice the apple into thin wedges. Each slice should be uniform for even cooking.
6. Place 2-3 apple slices onto each pastry triangle. Carefully fold the pastry over the apples and press the edges to seal.
7. Arrange the triangles on the greased pan, leaving space between them for expansion during baking.
8. Pour about a teaspoon of the butter-cinnamon mixture over each triangle for added flavor.
9. Add enough apple, orange, or lemon/lime juice to cover the base of the baking pan—this will form a delicious sauce as it bakes.
10. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the pastry turns a golden brown.
11. Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
12. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of ice cream or drizzle the sauce from the pan over the pastries.
13. Enjoy these delightful pastries and share the joy with family and friends!
