Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet of puff pastry (approx. 24 x 40 cm / 9 ½ x 16 inches), chilled
- 1 large red apple
- Juice of ½ lemon
- Approx. 4 tbsp apricot jam
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tbsp milk
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Soft butter for greasing, or paper muffin cups
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F) and grease 6 muffin cups with butter or line them with paper cups.
- Slice the apple into paper-thin slices, toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Cut the chilled puff pastry into 6 strips (approx. 6.5 x 24 cm / 2 ½ x 9 ½ inches).
- Spread a thin layer of apricot jam on each strip, then layer the apple slices on top, skin side up.
- Fold the lower half of the dough up over the apples and roll the strip loosely, placing it in a muffin cup.
- Brush the edges with a mixture of egg yolk and milk.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes or until golden brown, checking the bottom for doneness.
- Cool briefly, remove from the tin, and dust lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Use the reddest apple for the best appearance. Keep puff pastry cold for optimal results. Can be made ahead and baked fresh.
