Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need:
-
Puff pastry: 700 g (25 oz)
-
Apples: 4 pcs
-
Water: 100 ml (3.4 fl oz)
-
Strawberries: 10 pcs
-
Black chocolate: 100 g (3.5 oz)
-
Eggs: 1 pc
Preparation Steps
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) to ensure it’s ready for baking.
-
Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin pieces. Place them in a saucepan with the water. Cook over medium heat until the apples are soft and the water has mostly evaporated, about 10 minutes. Allow them to cool slightly.
-
Prepare the Strawberries: Wash the strawberries, remove the stems, and slice them thinly.
-
Roll Out the Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Cut the pastry into squares or rectangles, depending on your preferred serving size.
-
Assemble the Pastries: Place a spoonful of cooked apples in the center of each puff pastry square. Add a few slices of strawberries on top of the apples. Break the black chocolate into small pieces and add a piece to each pastry for a delicious surprise inside.
-
Seal the Pastries: Fold the edges of the pastry over the filling to form a pocket, pressing the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
-
Brush with Egg: Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the tops of the pastries. This will give them a beautiful golden color when baked.
-
Bake: Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed up and golden brown.
