Ruben's Apple Puffs
Sophie Lombardi
Wherever we are in the world, my son will choose an apple filled pastry from the local bakery. This little recipe for ‘Apple Puffs’ is so simple that I hesitated on whether or not to include it on the blog. However we are in Bramley season and you may even be lucky enough to chance upon a bucket of windfalls outside a neighbours’ house. Make these on a wet afternoon and they will definitely lift your spirits. (very little brain power or tidying up required)
Ingredients
A packet of puff pastry
3 or 4 Bramley Apples
x1 Tbsp Brown Sugar
Splash of Water
x1 tsp cinammon
x1 Star Anise
Method
Pre-heat the oven to 180ºC fan.
Peel, core and slice your apples into small 2cm cubes.
Place the apples in a saucepan with the sugar, water and spices. Cook on a low heat for 15-20 minutes.
Roll out the puff pastry and divide into 8 squares. (4 tops and 4 bottoms!)
Once the apple is cooked, drain off the excess liquid.
Place a generous spoonful of apple onto x4 of the squares of puff pastry.
Place a square on top of each of the apple filled squares and seal around the edges to form a little parcel.
Brush with milk or egg and bake for 20-25 minutes (until brown and crispy)
Serve warm with clotted cream and ice-cream.
We hope these little go down a treat in your house. Stay tuned for our beautiful new collection launching on Sunday 6th October.
