Directions

Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F)
Cut out rings from the puff pastry. From half of these rings, cut a smaller hole in the center and place them on the uncut rings to form a border. Lightly press the edges together. If you have leftover dough, you can make smaller rings.
Brush the edges of the rings with the egg yolk and dip them in almond brittle, so the tops are well-coated.
Place the prepared rings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Poke the center of the rings a few times with a fork to prevent them from rising. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
Peel, core, and dice the apples, then immediately drizzle them with lemon juice. Heat the butter in a pan, add the apple cubes, and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Allow them to caramelize over medium heat. Stir in the chopped almonds or walnuts and cook for a few more minutes until the apples are soft but still slightly firm. Let the filling cool.
Gently press down the cooled puff pastry rings in the center to create a well, and fill this with the baked apple filling.
Lightly dust the edges of the pastries with powdered sugar and enjoy the delicious baked apple pastries warm or at room temperature.

Baked Apple Pastry Questions

What types of apples are best for baked apple pastries, and why?

Tart apples, such as Granny Smith or Boskoop, are excellent choices for baked apple pastries because their acidity balances sweetness and richness. They hold their shape during baking, maintaining a delightful bite and enhancing flavor.

How can I ensure my puff pastry turns out flaky and golden brown?

To achieve flaky and golden-brown puff pastry, keep the pastry cold before baking, work quickly, brush edges with egg yolk for browning and sheen, dip edges in almond brittle, and bake at a high temperature (like 190°C or 375°F).

Can I substitute ingredients in the baked apple pastry recipe?

This baked apple pastry recipe is versatile; substitutions can be made based on dietary preferences. For a healthier option, use whole-grain or phyllo pastry. Sugar can be swapped with honey or maple syrup, and nuts can be replaced with seeds or omitted. Spices can be adjusted too.

How do I store leftover baked apple pastries, and how long do they last?

Let the pastries cool to room temperature, then store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or refrigerate for about a week. For long-term storage, freeze wrapped pastries for up to three months, reheating before serving for best quality.

What are some creative serving suggestions for baked apple pastries?

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, drizzle with caramel sauce, serve with herbal tea or spiced cider, garnish with mint, or dust with powdered sugar for a gourmet touch.
