Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake apples in puff pastry in the oven? Prepare your food. I use store-bought, yeast-free dough. You can cook it yourself. The finished dough is sold frozen, so defrost it in advance by transferring it from the freezer to the bottom shelf of the refrigerator — this way the process will be more delicate.

Step 2

Step 2
Prepare the apple filling. How to make the filling? Grind the peeled walnuts in any way. I pounded them in a mortar, you can punch them with a blender or chop them with a knife. To make the nuts more flavorful, dry them before chopping them in a dry frying pan.

Step 3

Step 3
Mix chopped nuts with honey. You can also add raisins, cinnamon, and lemon zest to the filling.

Step 4

Step 4
Wash and dry the apples. The most delicious varieties for baking are autumn varieties, such as Antonovka. Using a knife and spoon, cut out the center with the seeds from the side of the stalk.

Step 5

Step 5
Fill the apples with filling.

Step 6

Step 6
Roll out one layer of dough with a rolling pin on a table dusted with flour. Puff pastry has the ability to stretch well in one direction, so roll it along it. You should get a rectangular layer about 3mm thick. Cut it into two squares. Place stuffed apples in the center of each. Cut out the corners of the squares to create a four-cornered star.

Step 7

Step 7
Gather the ends of the star over the top of the apple and fold them over to form the stem of the apple. Cut out leaves from the remaining dough. I have a special notch, I made it with it. Place the leaves near the “peduncle”. Make the rest of the apples in the same way.

Step 8

Step 8
Line a baking tray with baking paper. Place the apples in the dough on it.

Step 9

Step 9
Wash the egg, dry it and break it into a bowl. Beat it with a fork until smooth. Brush the dough with beaten egg using a pastry brush.

Step 10

Step 10
Bake apples in puff pastry in an oven preheated to 200°C for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. The exact time will depend on the features of your oven. Remove the finished apples from the oven.

Step 11

Step 11
Serve apples warm or chilled. You can sprinkle them with powdered sugar. Bon appetit!
