Ingredients
500 g of puff pastry (ready made)
2 apples, peeled and grated
20 g of sugar (about 1 ½ cups)
5 g of cinnamon powder (about 1 cup)
1 egg, for brushing
Detailed instructions
- Prepare the filling
Start by peeling the 2 apples and grating them finely in a bowl. The grated apples will serve as the juicy and sweet base of the filling. Add 20g of sugar and 5g of cinnamon to the grated apples, stirring well to combine the ingredients. The sweetness of the sugar and the spicy note of the cinnamon will enhance the natural flavour of the apples, creating a perfect filling for your puff pastry.
- Roll out the puff pastry
On a clean surface, roll out the 500g of ready-made puff pastry, trying to obtain a rectangular shape with a uniform thickness (about 3-4 mm). Once rolled out, distribute the grated apple, sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the surface of the pastry, leaving about 1-2 cm of free edge around the edges.
- Roll and cut
Gently, start rolling the puff pastry from the longest side, trying to keep the roll very tight. Once you have formed a compact roll, cut it into slices about 2 cm thick with a sharp knife. Each slice will show off the beautiful layers of puff pastry and apple filling, creating small rolls that are perfect for baking. - Brush with egg
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the apple rolls on the baking sheet, leaving space between each roll to allow them to expand during baking. In a small bowl, beat 1 egg and gently brush the top of each roll. This will give the rolls a golden, glossy finish when baked.
- Bake
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the rolls for about 25-30 minutes, until the pastry is golden and crispy. The apple filling will soften as it bakes and release a delicious cinnamon scent. Once baked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the rolls cool slightly before serving.
Serving suggestions
To further enhance the flavors of this simple yet delicious dessert, you can serve the apple rolls with:
Strawberry puree: the sweetness of the apples and the crunchiness of the puff pastry pair perfectly with the acidity of the strawberry puree, creating an irresistible contrast of flavors.
Hot black tea: accompany the dessert with a cup of black tea for a balanced combination that enhances the spicy and fruity notes of the dessert.
Conclusion
With this recipe, preparing a delicious and fragrant dessert has never been so easy. In just 10 minutes, you can bake puff pastry rolls with an apple filling that will conquer everyone. The simplicity of the preparation combined with the irresistible flavor makes
