Here’s a simple recipe for making Puff Pastry with Apple Jam:
Ingredients:
- 1 sheet of puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup of apple jam (you can use homemade or store-bought apple preserves)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
- Cinnamon (optional, to add to the jam for extra flavor)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the puff pastry:
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface if it isn’t pre-rolled.
- Cut the sheet into small squares or rectangles, depending on your preferred size for the pastry.
3. Add the apple jam:
- Place a small spoonful of apple jam in the center of each pastry piece.
- If desired, you can sprinkle a little cinnamon over the jam for extra flavor.
4. Seal the pastry:
- Fold the puff pastry into a triangle or rectangle, depending on the shape you cut. Press the edges gently with a fork to seal them.
5. Egg wash:
- Beat the egg in a small bowl. Brush the tops of the pastries with the egg wash to give them a golden, shiny finish.
6. Bake:
- Place the filled pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy.
7. Cool and serve:
- Let the pastries cool for a few minutes. If desired, dust with powdered sugar for a sweet touch before serving.
