Nothing can compare with the smell of apple pie, full of cinnamon during a cold winter day. Make it fast out of store-bought puff pastry and it is the perfect fast dessert.
This dessert is easy to make, fairly fast (if you don’t hate grating apples as I do), and it tastes absolutely amazing. It is both moist from the apples, crunchy and glossy from the pastry and yogurt on the top. Here’s how I make it!
Apple pie with puff pastry
Servings: ~25 pieces
Baking time: 30 min
Difficulty: easy
Ingredients
- 500 g of puff pastry
- 9-10 apples (I used golden type with peel included)
- sugar to taste
- 3-4 tbsps of bread crumbs
- cinnamon to taste
- 2 tbsp of butter
- 1 egg yolk
- 3-4 tbsp of yogurt
Directions
- Grate the apples (I left the skin on) and saute them on medium fire with sugar and cinnamon to taste and 4 tbsps of bread crumbs until they are well combined and a bit warm.
- While the apples cool down, stretch one layer of pastry on your tray.
- Brush it with melted butter.
- Add the apples in the middle and spread them evenly.
- Add the second layer of pastry. Poke it in multiple times with a fork, so that it won’t inflate and break in the oven.
- Brush it with a bit of butter and also with an egg yolk mixed with yogurt.
- Cut it to the desired shapes and sizes.
- Place it in a preheated oven at 175 for 30-35 min.
- It can be served hot or cold, both options are delicious.
