Apple puff - Real Recipes from Mums

Serves 6
40 minutes
Difficulty Easy
10 Ingredients

A quick easy apple dessert that looks pretty too.

Ingredients (serves 6)

2 frozen puff pastry sheets
3 small red apples, core removed, skin on
1/4 cup apricot jam
1 tbsp warm water
2 tsp chia seeds
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon powder
1 handful of almond flakes
1 tbsp icing sugar
2 tsp lemon zest
1/2 lemon juiced

Method

Grease a 6-hole muffin tray and set aside. Take frozen puff pastry sheets out and cut each sheet into 3 long stripes. Slice apple thinly and put in a bowl of cold water mixed with lemon juice.
Zest the lemon. Mix it with apricot jam, chia seeds and warm water in a small bowl. Spoon the mixture to the center of each pastry.
Overlay apple slices and show 1/3 of the apple (skin side up) over the edge of pastry. Sprinkle cinnamon over apple, followed by spreading almond flakes evenly.
Fold pastry in half length-wise, roll pastry up like a rosette. Place each rosette to the greased muffin hole - you should have a total of 6. Leave in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Pre-heat oven at 200C. Bake apple puff for about 12-15 minutes or till it's golden. Remove them from muffin tray and let cool on cake rack. Decorate apple puff with icing sugar before serving them with a nice cup of tea.

Notes

What isn't there to like about a puff pastry filled with almond, apple and apricot with a hint of cinnamon and crunchy chia seeds? You can double the quantity to take with you to a party.

I make sure to use a sugarfree jam and make these without the icing sugar and sprinkle a little cinnamon instead.

  Thank you
  I hope you can roll them up as nice as a pretty rose, mine looked a bit funny actually, but we thought they were perfect in their inperfectness – if you know what I mean. Missey.

I love apples and I love puff pastry, so I know I’ll love this. With a good sized dollop of ice cream. Not sure I could get the Rose look quite so perfect either, but I’ll give it a go

  Me too! Although I tried but they didn’t look like roses; that doesn’t matter really, everyone in the house were happy to gobble them down with pleasure. Hope yours are as rewarding
  Missey.

My hubby loves all desserts with apple. Apple pie/slice/crumble… they’re all his favourites. I know he would love this. I can add something new to my repertoire.
