Serves: 6

Time: 35 min

Difficulty: easy

Ingredients

300g puff pastry
1 apple, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 egg
Juice of a half lemon

Step-by-step

1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking tray with baking paper.

2

Thinly slice the apples and gently toss them with lemon juice to prevent browning.

3

Remove the pastry from the fridge and roll it into six rectangles. Each rectangle should be approximately 12 cm (4 ¾ inches) square.

4

Using a sharp knife, make two cuts along the outside edge of each rectangle, about 1 ¼ cm (½ inch) wide, without cutting all the way to the tip of the triangle.

5

Beat the egg and brush the pastry with the beaten egg. Then, arrange the sliced apples on top of each pastry square, inside the border, overlapping them slightly.

6

Gently lift the strip of pastry over to the left, placing it on the edge of the pastry square, and repeat with the other strip, crossing to the other side to create a frame around the filling.
