Puff pastry with apples

how to make puff pastry with apples from ready-made dough

For similar pies (with sweet filling) you can use both yeast-free and yeast-free puff pastry... But before you start cooking the pie, do not forget to defrost it and wait for it to rise (if using yeast). Then it will take a little longer to bake pastries. Instead of apples, you can use peaches or apricots, pears or nectarine. Also put any berries (frozen or fresh) (raspberries or cherries, cherries or strawberries), so long as they are combined with fruits.

Ingredients:

• 500 g yeast puff pastry;
• 3 small apples;
• some flour for working with the dough;
• about 100 g of sugar sand;
• a tablespoon of cinnamon;
• an incomplete glass of frozen currant berries.

Cooking process:

First of all, turn on the oven and set the heating temperature to 190 (200) ° C. Cut off a third of the whole piece of dough and set it aside for now, covering it with a napkin (so as not to wind).

Wash the apples, remove the seeds and cut them into thin slices (no thicker than 3 mm).

Roll a large piece of dough right on oiled parchment into a thin layer and transfer it to a baking sheet, place apple slices on it in any order convenient for you.

Scatter currant berries on top, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.

Roll out the remaining piece of dough and cover the filling with it, fastening the edges tightly. Decorate the cake with dough pieces, lightly greasing them vegetable oil(to better adhere to the surface of the cake). Here you can feel free to feel like an abstract artist.

Send a baking sheet with a pie preparation to the oven for half an hour. In the meantime, you are setting the table and brewing tea, your sweet pie with apples from puff pastry is ready.

Puff pastry is an ideal solution for those who want to cook something quickly and tasty, because working with it is very simple. You can buy it in almost all stores, put it in the freezer, forget and remember about it 5 minutes before cooking. The dough thaws quickly at room temperature (about 45 minutes) or at microwave oven in 5 minutes at the lowest power. Dough thawed in the microwave loses its elasticity a little, but this does not interfere with cooking. Some housewives prefer to defrost it by placing it wrapped in cellophane in warm water.

In the summer, when the apple harvest ripens, puff pastry will come to the rescue of the hostess, because it is ideally combined with any filling, both sweet and sour, and there is very little trouble with it, do not be afraid that the dough will not work or it will turn out at the last moment, that some ingredient is missing.

• Puff pastry - 500 g
• Large apples - 5 pcs.
• Small raisins - 100 g
• Butter - 20 g
• Sugar - 2 tablespoons

Remove the middle from the apples, cut them into medium-sized pieces, about 1.5x1.5x1.5 cm. The peel does not need to be removed, it will soften perfectly in a frying pan. Preheat a frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter and toss the apples into it. Sprinkle with granulated sugar on top so that they give juice.

If the apples are sweet, 2 tablespoons of sugar will be enough, if sour, then if you wish, you can take a little more of it. Stir occasionally, after 2 minutes add the raisins and leave in the pan until the apples soften. If there are no raisins at home, then do not worry, the cake will turn out wonderful without it. Cinnamon lovers can add one tablespoon of this wonderful spice.

Roll out the dough into two layers, place the filling between them, pinch the edges well and put in the oven for 25 minutes at 180 degrees. With such a filling, you can also stick pies, but they must be closed.

On top, you can make cuts for beauty and so that the dough does not puff up.

• Dried almonds - 100 g
• Powdered sugar - 5 tbsp. l.

Roll out the puff pastry, divide it into two parts. On the first one we spread the chopped apples, sprinkle with nuts on top, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Apples will definitely give juice, but not very much, so this pie can be partially opened. To do this, the second layer of dough can be cut into strips and covered with them. Place the cake in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 20 minutes.

Sprinkle cinnamon on the apples if desired. Put raisins on top and sprinkle with sugar. Beat the egg separately.

We begin to wrap the roll: we take one edge of the puff pastry and cover their apples. Lubricate this edge with an egg on top, so that the second one better adheres to it. Next, cover the second edge and grease the entire strudel with the remaining egg for beauty.

What would the cake look like classic strudel, we make long, oblique cuts on top, about 2 centimeters from each other. Place in a preheated oven for 25 minutes at 180 degrees.

Ingredients:

• Puff pastry 250 g
• Medium apples - 5
• Sugar - 2-3 tbsp.
• Butter 30 g + 10 g for greasing the mold
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon

Peel the apples, remove the core, cut into slices, about 3 millimeters wide. Since the cake will be open, moisten the slices lemon juice so that they do not darken.

Roll out the puff pastry, place it in a round shape pre-oiled with oil so that the edges are bent up by 2-3 centimeters. Beauty lovers may not use the shape but cut round base from the dough, and weave the edges in the form of braids from two strips of puff pastry.

Melt the remaining butter. Grease the puff pastry inside with about ½ part of the melted butter, sprinkle with half the sugar. We begin to lay the apples in overlapping circles from edge to center, forming a beautiful pattern that resembles a rose. Lubricate the apples with the remains of butter, sprinkle with sugar. If the apples are sour, you can take a little more sugar. We send it to the oven for 20-25 minutes at 180 degrees.

We bake the pie in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes at 180 degrees. Since no sugar is used in this recipe, the pie is not very sweet. If desired, already ready-made pie can be sprinkled with powdered sugar on top.

How to make a puff pastry apple pie

If you bought frozen dough in advance, remove it from the freezer. And in any case, the frozen semi-finished product must be thawed. This will take you up to 5 hours at room temperature. If you put the dough on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator up to 10. But in warm water up to 3.

In warm water, you need to put the dough in a tightly tied plastic bag, defrost it on a cutting board without packaging on the table, and in the refrigerator in its original (store) packaging.

I defrost the convenience food on a flour-sprinkled cutting board.

For apple pie, we take yeast-free dough, this semi-finished product has 225 layers. This means that the dough is already completely ready for cooking. We just have to roll it out. Like this.

In order for the cake to bake well, you need to put a baking sheet in an oven preheated to 200 C, it should be warmed up in advance. I usually turn on mine as soon as I start preparing the filling, and you are guided by the parameters of your device.

We use ordinary sweet red apples for the filling. Cut them into halves, carefully remove the middle, and then cut the halves into plates. The peel does not need to be peeled.

Divide the dough into two equal parts. Cover a warm baking sheet with parchment, put one part on it. Place the apples nicely on top. When stacking apples, leave at least 4-5 centimeters around the edges of the void (no apples).

Now you need to prepare cinnamon sugar: for this, mix the norm of sugar with cinnamon, stir the composition well. Sprinkle the apples generously with the resulting mixture. In the baking process, the apples will be juiced, mixed with sugar and cinnamon, to make a kind of apple caramel.

Fold the second part of the dough in half, make oblique even cuts with a sharp knife on the fold.

Now we carefully unfold the layer, put it on top of the cake. To pinch the edges well, moisten them with a little water.

Let's start decorating. This simple decoration will make our cake attractive in appearance, and will also allow the filling to breathe (the dough will not be too wet). To do this, carefully remove the incisions through one. If you do not rush, it will turn out perfectly smooth.

Separate the yolk from the protein, shake the yolk, grease the top of the pie with it.

The oven is already well warmed up, you can put the pie, we will bake it for 15–20 minutes without adding the temperature (at 200 C). It should look like this.

The finished cake has a flaky consistency, and apples with sugar form apple caramel... The pie is not only delicious, but also satisfying.
