And even the step-by-step photos here seem superfluous, but my habit of photographing the entire process is so strong that I can’t resist!

If you don’t trust store-bought products, you can stock up for future use. Then defrost and prepare puff pastries with cheese, apples, cherries... Huge scope for creativity!

Apple Puff Recipe Ingredients:

• Puff pastry (yeast-free is more suitable) - 400-500 g
• Sweet and sour apples - 3-4 pcs.
• Granulated sugar - 3 tbsp. l.
• Small egg - 1 pc.
• Milk - 1 tbsp. l.
• Cinnamon - 0.5 tsp.
• Powdered sugar for decoration

How to make delicious puff pastries with apples

Thaw the puff pastry. You can leave it on a cutting board in the evening, covered with a towel to prevent it from getting too windy. If time is short, use the microwave to defrost (be careful not to accidentally bake it).

As soon as the dough is defrosted, you can immediately turn on the oven at 200 °C. The puff pastries cook at lightning speed, so the oven must be ready.

Apple filling

To make the filling, wash the apples and peel them with a sharp knife or vegetable peeler. Cut into small diamonds and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Stir. As soon as the apples release their juice, carefully drain it. For the filling, use only dry, well-wrung out pieces, otherwise the puff pastries will get soggy and fall apart in the oven.

There is another 100% way to make the filling so that the puff pastries do not leak in the oven. Place a teaspoon of butter in a frying pan and add apples and sugar. For flavor, you can mix apples with vanilla sugar, not regular sugar. Simmer the apples and sugar over the heat for 10 minutes, stirring constantly with a spatula. During this time, the sugar and juice from the apples will turn into a thick syrup, and the fruits themselves will become soft and give up excess liquid.

Forming puff pastries

Puff pastry is usually not rolled out to make the finished product more fluffy and flaky. Therefore, you can only roll it out lightly so that the final thickness is at least 0.5 cm. Cut the layer into quarters (about 10 -20 cm). Each piece of dough will be a puff pastry.

If you decide to make as many puffs as possible, in this case the dough needs to be rolled out thinly. But the finished baked goods will not be as voluminous.

Place 1 tbsp on each piece of dough. l. apples There should be enough space from the filling to the edges of the dough. Remember that the dough is no less tasty than the filling; you should not add too much to avoid the filling leaking out.

You can form the puff pastries directly on the baking sheet so as not to transfer them from the cutting board.

On top you need to cover the puff pastry with exactly the same size layer of dough. I have a shaped knife roller that allows me to easily make a mesh. That is, you need to run a roller over the dough plate, leaving a pattern that is not completely cut.

Use a knife to spread the mesh apart.

Cover the filled puff pastry with a mesh piece of dough.

If there is no figured roller, you can make closed puff pastries. In this case, cover the apples with exactly the same size layer of dough.

There is another option to make cuts with a regular knife. Make slits at a distance of 1 cm from each other; excess steam will escape through them, and the appearance of the puff pastries will become more interesting.

I press the dough around the edges and press it tightly. You can press the edges with a fork: you will get a beautiful curly rim. Squeeze as hard as possible to prevent the puff pastries from opening in the oven.

Place the pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment.

To make the puff pastries have an appetizing and crispy crust, brush a mixture of yolk and milk with a brush. Break an egg into a small bowl and scoop out the yolk into a separate cup.

Add 1 tbsp. l. milk and stir the mixture. For crunch, you can lightly add salt to the puff pastries.

Using a pastry brush, coat each puff with this mixture.

To ensure that the delicacy gets a caramel crispy crust in the oven, use the following trick: combine 0.5 tsp. cinnamon and 1 tsp. Sahara.

Stir the dry mixture.

Now sprinkle the puff pastries on top. The sugar will stick well to the egg grease and the puff pastries will get a wonderful crust.

Now another secret to delicious puff pastry in the oven. Using a spray bottle, spray the puff pastries with plain cold water. This way the puff pastries will become even tastier, the dough will rise and reveal its layers much better.

After 20-25 minutes in the oven, the puff pastries will be ready. Be sure to cool the puff pastries before serving. The filling is so hot that you can burn yourself with it!

Sprinkle the finished treat with powdered sugar through a sieve. It will be even tastier and more beautiful. Bon appetit! The puff pastries are satisfying and moderately sweet. Based on this recipe, you can prepare puff pastries with any berries, just add 1 tbsp to the filling. l. starch to prevent leakage.

On my You Tube channel I posted a detailed video on how to make yeast puff pastry with your own hands and how to make croissants from it. If you want to make homemade puff pastry, start with this recipe!

Baking with apples is one of our family's favorites. And simple, and always tasty, and, as a rule, budget-friendly. Today we will prepare puff pastries with apples, raisins and cinnamon from ready-made puff pastry without yeast.

I use the same dough to make beautiful and tasty ones with canned pineapple rings; the recipe for making them is even simpler and faster. Today's apple puffs require a little fiddling, but the results are worth it. 🙂

Ingredients:(for 8 puffs)

• 1 package (500 g) yeast-free puff pastry
• 650 g sweet and sour apples
• 50 g raisins
• 30 g butter
• 3 tbsp. l. sugar + 10 g vanilla sugar
• 1 tbsp. l. lemon juice
• 1/3 tsp. cinnamon

If you don't like raisins, then use 700 g of apples for the filling.

Preparation:

Cut the package of puff pastry and leave to defrost at room temperature. You can cover it with a film or bag on top to prevent it from getting airy. While we prepare the filling, the dough will just defrost.

We sort out the raisins and pour hot water from the kettle so that they steam a little.

I prepare a very tasty filling for apple puffs according to the same principle as for and for. For the filling, I buy green sweet and sour apples such as Golden, Granny Smith or Semerenko with dense, crispy pulp. Pieces of apples of these varieties retain their shape well during heat treatment and do not become soft in puree.
Peel the apples from skins and seeds and cut them into small cubes. Add 1 tbsp. l. lemon juice and mix.

Melt butter in a frying pan and add chopped apples. Pour 3 tbsp on top. l. sugar and a bag (10 g) of vanilla sugar. Instead of vanilla sugar, you can add vanillin at the tip of a teaspoon.

Keep the frying pan over fairly high heat, stirring the contents all the time. First, the sugar will begin to melt and the apples will release juice, and quite a lot of syrup will form. Stir the apples constantly until the liquid evaporates, so that they are evenly saturated with syrup and do not burn. It is advisable to do this with a silicone spatula, delicately turning over the apple pieces and trying not to injure them.
When there is almost no liquid left, which won’t last long, add cinnamon and raisins, after draining the water.

Stir the filling for some more time until there is no liquid left at all, and as a result we get this delicious filling for puff pastries:

Set the pan aside and let it cool. Now you can turn on the oven so that it heats up to 200-220 degrees.
By this time, the puff pastry has already defrosted. We will work with one sheet, and leave the second one under the film for now.
Lightly flour the table and cut the dough sheet into 4 pieces.

Let's start making puff pastries. There are two options here. If you are cooking, as they say, in a hurry, then you can not roll out the dough at all, but do it like this. First, place a full tablespoon of filling onto the dough square and connect the opposite corners. To prevent the corners from coming unglued, you need to lightly moisten them with water.

Then connect the remaining two corners, try to glue them more securely. Pinch the corners of the puff pastry with your fingers to prevent the filling from leaking out.

I took these two photos the last time I baked puff pastries just like that, quickly. 🙂
But if you have time, try making beautiful puff braids, it’s very simple.
Roll out the dough square thinly to a size of approximately 15*17 cm. Visually divide it into 3 parts and make cuts along the edges to make 8-9 strips.

Place the apple filling in the middle and begin to braid the dough strips.

We bend the remaining ends downwards.

Place the puff pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the puff pastries until golden brown. It is difficult to say the exact time, since all ovens behave differently. My baking process took 35 minutes, yours may be longer or shorter.
If your oven bakes unevenly and the baked goods usually burn, then 15 minutes after the start of baking, place a flat container of water on the bottom of the oven.

If you, like me, cannot establish friendly relations with yeast dough, there is no need to be upset, just as there is no need to deny yourself home-baked goods. There are many alternative recipes: sponge or pancake pies, cakes made with store-bought cookies, jelly desserts or various goodies prepared using ready-made puff pastry without yeast. Don't worry, you don't need to do it yourself! All you have to do is go to the nearest store and buy a pack. Everything will depend on how much time you are willing to spend preparing something delicious. If guests are about to arrive, the puff layers can be cut into strips, sprinkled with sugar and placed in a hot oven for 15 minutes. Well, if you have half an hour or more, then prepare apple puffs from puff pastry. You can use both yeast and non-yeast dough. Such a treat will definitely not stay on the plate.

Even a novice cook can make an impeccable apple dessert made from puff pastry, because it is one hundred percent perfect! The light sourness of apples, coupled with the crispy and rosy dough, emphasized by the sweetness of powdered sugar, teases the appetite so much that you just want to quickly bite off the treasured tasty morsel.

If you stock up on a piece of frozen puff pastry ahead of time that can be stored in the freezer, you can bake apple puffs every day if you have this delicious fruit on your table.

Ingredients

• 2 apples
• 300 g puff pastry
• 30 g granulated sugar
• 30 g powdered sugar

Preparation

1. First defrost the puff pastry to a plastic state, when it is no longer hard, but has not yet begun to peel off. Roll it out with a rolling pin on a board or work surface into a rectangular layer. Cut the layer into four equal parts.

2. Place dough squares on parchment paper. It does not need to be greased, since the puff pastry already contains butter.

3. Peel the apple from seeds, cut it in half, and then into quarters and cut it into thin slices. Fan the wedges onto the prepared dough.

4. Sprinkle the apple slices with granulated sugar. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the apple puffs for about 15-20 minutes at 180C.

5. You will understand that the dessert is already ready by the incredible apple aroma and rosy color of the baked puff pastries. During baking, the puff pastry will rise at the edges. And the apple slices will release juice into the middle, which will be caramelized thanks to granulated sugar.

6. Let the puff pastries cool slightly and sprinkle them with powdered sugar. If desired, you can add a pinch of cinnamon. Serve with a cup of hot tea and lemon.

Note to the hostess

1. Baked apples will look very impressive if you moisten them generously with cognac before baking. And what a aroma they will give off! It will also be transferred to the caramel that forms between the top layer of dough and the fruit slices. The alcohol will completely evaporate due to heat treatment, so these puff pastries can be given to little ones with a sweet tooth without fear.

2. Why do recipes always stipulate that only cooled baked goods should be sprinkled with powdered sugar? Should I follow the recommendation? Yes, definitely. On a hot culinary product, the sweet powder will melt and turn into a thick, glossy crust, similar to poorly prepared glaze.

3. There are apples with hard skin. When baked, it hardens even more and then, like a serpentine, moves away from the pulp. In order not to spit out the baked skin, blushing at the table due to a violation of etiquette, it is better to peel the thick-skinned fruits before placing them on puff pastries.

4. Storage conditions are almost as important for puff pastry as for meat and fish. It must be frozen once and thawed once. As a rule, it is sold in a transparent shell, under which there is cardboard with information printed on it (name, composition, etc.). If the paper is crumpled or wrinkled, it means that the product was thawed and then placed in the freezer again.

Puff pastries with apples are a delicacy that is at the top of the list of favorites not only for many children, but also for adults. Some people tried this type of baking for the first time thanks to their grandmother or mother, but many students will tell you that they got hooked on it specifically during their student life. A tasty and satisfying dish to go with hot tea - what else does a student need to refresh himself? Just a piece of chicken, rich soup and a lot of pork cutlets!

But let’s return to puff pastries and understand that there are several ways to prepare this wonderful dish. First of all, it is worth clarifying that the basis of any baking is the dough, which you can prepare either yourself or buy a ready-made product in the store. Since puff pastries are very popular, there are many recipes for preparing them. If we talk about dough, puff pastries are most often made from regular puff pastry or puff pastry. Depending on the option chosen, you will end up with a completely different (taste-wise) delicacy.

Today I bring to the attention of readers my proven version of this popular dish, according to which puff pastries will be prepared from puff pastry. This time I didn’t get fancy and prepare the dough myself, but simply bought it at the store. I advise everyone to do the same - it will save not only time, but also money, since homemade dough, if you look at the price of ingredients, ends up being more expensive than store-bought dough.

Once the dilemma with the dough is resolved, you can already think about the shape of the puffs. If you want to show your imagination, you can give the baked goods any shape, but I settled on the classic version.

The very last choice will be about the filling. Based on the name, everyone already understood that this time I used apples, but it was just my whim. Apples can be replaced with your favorite fruits, berries or cottage cheese.

Before serving, sprinkle the apple puffs with powdered sugar, and before they have cooled, start tasting them. In my opinion, there is simply no better dessert for tea or cocoa.

Ingredients:

• 500 g store-bought puff pastry
• 8 apples
• 3 tbsp. Sahara
• Citric acid to taste
• 6 tbsp. water
• Powdered sugar for serving
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp. water
