Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 package puff pastry, thawed for flakiness
  • 2-3 medium apples, peeled and diced for sweetness
  • 1/4 cup sugar for sweetness and caramelization
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon for warmth and spice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice to balance sweetness and prevent browning
  • 1 large egg, beaten for egg wash to enhance color
  • as needed none Flour for dusting to prevent sticking

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  • Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and unroll the thawed puff pastry.
  • Roll out the puff pastry to create an even thickness, approximately 1/8 inch.
  • Cut the pastry into squares, about 4x4 inches each.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.

Assembly

  • Place a spoonful of the apple mixture in the center of each pastry square.
  • Fold the pastry over to create a triangle shape and pinch the edges to seal securely.
  • Use the tines of a fork to crimp the edges.
  • Brush the tops of the sealed pastries with the beaten egg.
  • Arrange the mini pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Baking

  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
  • Allow the pies to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

Serving

  • Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with whipped cream or ice cream.

Notes

For best results, ensure puff pastry is fully thawed. Avoid overfilling the pies to prevent bursting during baking.
