Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (for topping)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Apple Filling: In a pan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it becomes smooth and bubbly. Add the diced apples, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are softened and the sugar has dissolved into a syrupy coating.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Assemble the Pie: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry. Spread the cooled apple filling evenly across one half of the dough, ensuring a 1-inch border around the edges. Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling to form a sealed pocket, then press the edges to secure. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch. Make a few small cuts on top of the pastry to let steam escape during baking.
- Egg Wash and Sugar Topping: Gently brush the top of the pastry with the beaten egg to give it a glossy finish. Sprinkle the coarse sugar evenly over the top for extra crunch and sweetness.
- Bake: Transfer the pie to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
- Cool and Serve: Let the apple pie cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat.
Conclusion:
This Apple Pie with Puff Pastry is the ultimate dessert hack—quick to prepare, irresistibly flaky, and bursting with sweet apple flavor. It’s an elegant yet simple way to bring the cozy flavors of fall to your table. Whether served warm from the oven or enjoyed as leftovers, this pie is sure to impress.
