Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces puff pastry
- 1 pound cooking apples
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon rind, finely grated
- 1 tablespoon orange blossom water or cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon fine-cut orange marmalade
- caster sugar for sprinkling
- extra orange marmalade
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Grease and flour a baking sheet or line it with parchment.
- Prepare the apples by peeling, coring, and slicing them. Stew the apples in 1/2 cup of water until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and let cool completely.
- Mix the cooled apples with brown sugar, lemon rind, marmalade, and optional orange blossom water or cinnamon. Adjust flavors to taste.
- Roll out the pastry until about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 8 squares, each about 4 inches wide.
- Place a line of the apple filling down the center of each square, leaving space at the ends for sealing.
- Dampen the edges of the pastry squares with reserved apple cooking liquid.
- Fold the edges over the filling to create a tube shape. Pinch and seal with a fork.
- Seal the ends of each pastry tube using the fork.
- Brush the tops with reserved apple cooking liquid and sprinkle generously with caster sugar.
- Cut vents into the top of each pastry to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve warm with extra marmalade or candied orange peel.
Notes
- Use tart apple varieties for balanced sweetness.
- Experiment with spices to suit your taste.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container.
