Pastéis de maçã com massa folhada

Ingredientes

• 3 cups apples (finely diced to 1/4" cubes (about 3 small))
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 lb puff pastry (2 sheets thawed and refrigerated)
• 1 large egg mixed with 1 Tbsp water
• 2 Tbsp coarse sugar

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, toss together the apples, brown sugar, flour, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

3. 3

   On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the puff pastry sheets into a 12" square. Trim the edges and cut into 4 equal squares.

4. 4

   Divide half of the apple mixture evenly into each square. Brush the edges with egg wash, fold one side over, then press and seal the edges with the tines of a fork.

5. 5

   Transfer the turnovers to one of the prepared baking sheets. Brush the tops with egg wash, sprinkle with coarse sugar, and cut a few small slits for ventilation.

6. 6

   Bake at 400F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry and the rest of the filling while the first batch bakes.
