Ingredients
3 apples, peeled and thinly sliced
1 sheet puff pastry or pie dough
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
1 egg yolk or milk for brushing
Optional Additions
Vanilla extract for extra warmth
Honey or caramel drizzle
Chopped walnuts or almonds
Brown sugar for deeper flavor
Powdered sugar for garnish
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Roll out the puff pastry onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Arrange the apple slices evenly over the pastry, slightly overlapping them.
Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over the apples.
Brush the melted butter over the top for a golden finish.
Fold the edges slightly inward if desired.
Brush the pastry edges with egg yolk or milk.
Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the pastry is golden and crisp and the apples are tender.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Tips for Success
Use firm apples like Golden Delicious, Honeycrisp, or Gala for the best texture.
Slice the apples thinly so they cook evenly.
Chill the pastry before baking for extra crispiness.
Add a little lemon juice to the apples to prevent browning.
Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
