Ingredients
- 2 cups of diced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp are great choices)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 package of puff pastry (thawed)
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon flour (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the diced apples with lemon juice, cinnamon, and sugar. Toss to coat the apples evenly and set aside for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until it’s about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the pastry into squares, approximately 3 inches by 3 inches.
- Place a spoonful of the apple filling in the center of each pastry square.
- Fold the pastry over to form a triangle, sealing the edges with a fork to give it a nice crimped look. Brush each bite with the beaten egg to give it a golden finish.
- Place the apple bites on the prepared baking sheet, allowing some space between each one.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
