Quick Puff Pastry Apple Rolls Recipe
Table of Contents
Ingredients:
- 500 g (17.6 oz) puff pastry
- 2 apples, grated
- 20 g (1 ½ tbsp) sugar
- 5 g (1 tsp) cinnamon
- 1 egg, for brushing
Optional for Serving:
- Strawberry puree
- Black tea
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Filling
Start by peeling the 2 apples and grating them into a medium-sized bowl. The grated apples will form the sweet, juicy filling for your pastry. Once grated, mix the apples with 20 g of sugar and 5 g of cinnamon, ensuring that the mixture is evenly combined. The sugar will bring out the natural sweetness of the apples, while the cinnamon adds a warm, spiced flavor.
2. Roll the Dough
On a clean, flat surface, roll out the 500 g puff pastry into a large rectangular shape. Aim for an even thickness so that the pastry bakes uniformly. Once rolled out, evenly spread the prepared apple mixture across the surface of the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
3. Roll and Slice
Carefully begin rolling the puff pastry from one edge, working slowly to create a tight roll or log shape. Once fully rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the log into small rolls, about 2 cm thick. Each slice should contain layers of pastry and apple filling.
4. Egg Wash
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Arrange the apple rolls on the tray, leaving some space between each roll for them to expand during baking. In a small bowl, beat 1 egg and brush the top of each roll with the egg wash to give them a golden, glossy finish once baked.
