Pastéis de maçã com massa folhada

Ingredientes

• 2 crisp apples (cored and finely chopped)
• 30 g demerara sugar (turbinado sugar)
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
• 320 g ready-rolled puff pastry
• 1 medium free range eggs
• 15 g demerara sugar (turbinado sugar)

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 220C (200C fan / 450F).

2. 2

   In a bowl, toss the chopped apples in the lemon juice, cinnamon and 30g (2 tbsp) of the sugar until well combined.

3. 3

   Unroll one sheet of puff pastry and slice in half along the shorter edge and, three times along the longer edge to create six equal rectangles.

4. 4

   Place a little of the apple mix into the middle of each section of pastry.

5. 5

   Fold over to create triangles, then pinch along the edges to seal.

6. 6

   Press a fork along the seams, then transfer to a baking sheet. You can trim the edges with a sharp knife for a neater finish, if you like.

7. 7

   Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with 15g (1 tbsp) sugar.

8. 8

   Bake for 15-20 minutes until well browned and puffed up.

9. 9

   Cool a little on a wire rack (don't bite straight from the oven - the filling will be extremely hot). They can be enjoyed warm or cold.
