Equipment

  • oven
  • skillet
  • stove top

Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 tbsp. salted butter
  • 2 Granny Smith apples or another tart variety large
  • 3/4 tsp. cinnamon
  • 4 tbsp. sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. corn starch dissolve in 1 tsp. of water
  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
  • 1 egg beaten
  • t tbsp. unrefined sugar or any other chunky sugar

Instructions
 

Filling

  • Peel and core the apples. Chop into 1/2" cubes.
  • In a sauté pan on medium heat, melt the butter. Add the apples, cinnamon, and sugar. Mix well. Cook covered on medium heat until the apples are tender ~3-5 minutes.
  • Allow the filling to cool to room temperature before assembling the pies.
  • Gently unroll the thawed dough. Use a knife to divide the dough in half lengthwise and then into 6 sections horizontal sections for a total of 12 pieces.
  • Preheat oven to 400˚F/
  • Add ~2 teaspoons of filling to one of the rectangles leaving a 1/2" border of dough. Use a pastry brush to brush the beaten egg around the filling. Place another rectangle of pastry on top and seal the edges together using the tines of a fork.
  • Place the pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Use a sharp knife and cut 3-4 diagonal slashes.
  • Brush the pies with egg wash and sprinkle on a couple of pinches of unrefined sugar.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden.
  • Serve warm.

Notes

  • I recommend using Trader Joe's puff pastry, it has the perfect dimensions to make 6, rectangular pies. 
  • If the tines of the fork stick to the dough, dip the fork into some flour before pressing. 
  • This recipe was inspired by thesaltynsweet.
