Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups tart apples (Granny Smith), peeled and diced
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and core the apples, then cut them into small chunks.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the diced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Let sit for about 10 minutes to meld flavors.
- Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a floured surface and cut into squares (approximately 4 inches each).
- Place one tablespoon of the apple mixture in the center of each square. Fold corners toward the center and pinch to seal tightly.
- Whisk together the egg with one tablespoon of water; brush this mixture over each sealed bite for a golden finish.
- Arrange bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
