Apple Pies
Maccas, please step aside.
Ingredients
- 4-5 granny smith apples, diced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (1/3 if you prefer a sweeter mince)
- 50 g butter
- 2-3 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 tspn nutmeg
- Salt
- Puff or shortcrust pastry
Instructions
- Apple filling: in a pan over medium heat, add in your apples, butter, brown sugar, spices and a pinch of salt. Cook until the apples are soft and the mixture is thick and caramelly. Refrigerate until you’re ready to use.
- Preheat oven to 210C or 410F. Divide your puff pastry into 6 even pieces.
- Lay on piece on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Add in the filling, leaving a 1cm border. Place another piece of puff pastry on top and seal. Make a cute design on the top and brush (this is where you can super creative! This step is needed for the steam to escape while baking in the oven)
- Brush the top with egg wash and sprinkle on sugar (raw cane sugar or turbinado sugar or demerara sugar for extra crunch). Repeat for all your apple pies.
- Bake for 25-30 mins or until golden brown.
