Ingredients
- 1 ready-rolled puff pastry
- 1 tablespoon butter (15 g)
- 6 apples
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
- 1 egg to brush
Instructions
- Peel and core the apples.
- Cut them into quarters, then chop into small cubes - either with a knife or a vegetable cutter.
- Melt the butter, then add the chopped apples and cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Add the sugar, cinnamon and lemon extract, and continue to stir for a further 1-2 minutes, or until soft.
- Remove from the heat and leave to cool completely.
- Roll out the puff pastry, cut 6 squares, then add about 2 tablespoons of filling onto each square.
- Fold the pastry across diagonally to form a triangle, and use a fork to press the edges to seal.
- Beat the egg well, then brush all over the pasties.
- Use a sharp knife or a fork to make a few cuts on top of the pastry - that will allow the steam to escape during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit) on the middle rack of the oven for 20 minutes or until golden.
