Many thrifty housewives always have a package of ready-made puff pastry in their freezer in case they need to prepare something for tea “without the hassle.” One of the most delicious baking options made from it is puff pastries with apples. Fragrant, tender, made from the simplest ingredients, puff pastries do not linger on the table, especially if there are children in the house. Of course, it is better to cook with butter rather than margarine (especially for children), but, unfortunately, there is not always time to knead this rather labor-intensive product.

The puff pastry must be completely defrosted. To do this, you need to take it out of the freezer, remove it from the packaging and place it, for example, on a cutting board. Cover the dough with a towel to prevent it from airing and leave for 60 minutes.
When the dough is suitable for modeling, turn on the oven. To bake puff pastries, the temperature should be slightly higher than for regular baking - 220 degrees.
While the oven is heating up, it's time to start making the filling. Wash the apples, peel them, remove the core and cut the pulp into cubes about 1x1 cm in size.
Heat butter or vegetable oil in a frying pan. Place apples in a frying pan and add sugar (for more flavor, you can add 1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar).
Make the heat higher than medium and, constantly stirring with a spatula, fry the apples. In less than 10 minutes, the apples will become soft, and the released juice and sugar will turn into a thick syrup. The filling is ready.
Cover a baking sheet with parchment. It is more convenient to form apple puffs directly on a baking sheet, so as not to transfer them later. Puff pastry is usually not rolled out, which makes the baked goods much larger.
If the puff pastry for puff pastry consists of one layer, then you need to cut it into rectangles of about 10-20 cm (you will get about 4 puff pastries). If you roll out the dough a little and make the pieces smaller, the number of puffs increases. It's a matter of taste. In this case, we are guided by the principle: “A big pie is welcome,” that is, we do more.
Each workpiece is divided into two parts. In one part, make cuts lengthwise at a distance of 1 cm, not reaching the edge by 1 cm.
Place the filling on the uncut part, cover with the second part, press the edges (not folded) quite firmly with a fork. This will prevent the puff pastries from “opening” during baking. Proceed similarly with the rest of the blanks.
Break the egg into a small cup and beat it a little with a fork.
Using a silicone brush or any other device, brush the top of all puff pastries well with egg.
Remove the baking sheet with puff pastries into the already hot oven. After 20-25 minutes, when the puff pastries are sufficiently browned, they can be taken out.
Let the puff pastries with apples cool for about 10 minutes (otherwise you can get very burned with the filling) and serve them to the table, first sprinkling the puff pastries with powdered sugar.
The puff pastries are crumbly, moderately sweet and very filling. They can also be prepared with berries, but in this case, be sure to add about 1 tbsp to the filling. l. potato starch so that the juice from the berries does not leak out onto the baking sheet when baking.
These are buns made from puff pastry dough filled with apples and cinnamon sugar. The combination is classic, familiar to everyone and invariably successful! And the idea to bake them came thanks to a very similar recipe for buns with nuts and maple syrup. We really liked them, the next day I decided to bake them again, but without nuts - I still don’t really like large nut pieces in soft baked goods. I decided not to use nuts, just fill it with grated apple, and use sugar instead of maple syrup. And I didn’t just brush the top with yolk, but also sprinkled the buns with cinnamon sugar. And look how beautiful the crust turned out!
It’s amazing how easy it is to prepare these puff “snails” and what minimum ingredients are needed. The recipe is simple and economical, both in terms of products and time: in half an hour you will have a wonderful pastry for tea for breakfast, afternoon snack or dinner.
Ingredients:
For 8 buns:
- 500 g puff pastry;
- 2-3 small apples;
- 3-4 teaspoons of sugar (depending on the sweetness of the apples);
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
How to bake:
Defrost the puff pastry at room temperature. Let it thaw, become soft and rise a little. Then you can unfold it and roll it out lightly directly on the film in which the dough is wrapped - just a little, the layers will remain intact.
Wash the apples, peel them and grate them on top of the dough on a coarse grater. We try to distribute the grated apples evenly.
Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture on top of the apples and cut the dough strip into smaller strips - 8 pieces. It is convenient to cut the dough in half, then each half again in half - into quarters, and then divide each quarter into eighths.
Fold the resulting strips of dough with apple filling in half and seal the edges well.
We roll the blanks into a spiral, we get these buns, which we place on a baking sheet, covering it with oiled parchment. Meanwhile, the oven is preheated to 200C.
Brush the tops of the buns with beaten egg yolk and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
Bake puff pastries with apple on the middle tier of the oven for 25-30 minutes. When you see a bright golden brown crust, the buns are ready!
We take them out and cool them, enjoying the delicious apple and cinnamon aromas.

How to make rose buns from puff pastry dough
Not everyone knows how to defrost puff pastry, but there is nothing difficult about it. I sprinkle a silicone mat with a small amount of flour and place a layer of dough on it, then leave it for 20 - 30 minutes until it comes to room temperature. But such baking can be made from either store-bought or homemade dough; you choose the option that is convenient for you. It can also be either yeast or yeast-free. I have the first option, but the initial steps are the same for any type.
At this time, I am preparing the basis for beautiful baked apple roses. For this I choose red sweet fruits. Namely, red ones are needed in order to get a beautiful border. Then I wash them under running water and carefully cut out the core with the seeds that we don’t need.
Try to trim the apple carefully so that you end up with as many beautiful slices as possible. The width of the pieces is a couple of millimeters and no thicker if you want them to bend beautifully and not crack. I advise you to take medium-sized fruits to make it more convenient to shape the product.
Then, you still need to soften them, for this I pour 250 ml of water into a saucepan and put it on the fire, as soon as the liquid boils, add sugar. When it dissolves, I dip the prepared slices into this syrup and boil them in this way for about two minutes. It is important that during this time they become softer and bend easily. Thanks to these actions, rose puff pastries with apples turn out really beautiful and neat, and the petals are not damaged. After this is done, I drain the liquid, leaving only the fruit. To remove any remaining moisture from them, I place them on paper towels. If you don’t do this, then when you put a wet piece and start wrapping, the dough will simply begin to spread out from the moisture and will not hold its shape.
Now the dough has already reached room temperature, so using a rolling pin, I roll it out well to make a long rectangular layer. After that, I cut it into short strips, of which I got 12 pieces.
I place 5-6 apple slices on the top of the strip, overlapping each other and carefully holding them, roll them up. I fasten the lower parts together to make the bottom without holes.
Thanks to this, you get beautiful apple roses from puff pastry. I place a sheet of parchment on a baking sheet and place the formed products on it at a short distance from each other, since the dough will increase in volume during baking. If you are afraid that they will not hold their shape, although this is not the case, then you can use silicone muffin tins.
I preheat the oven to a temperature of 200 degrees, when it is heated, I place a baking sheet with the preparations in it for 25 - 30 minutes, until the dough is golden brown. As for me, the recipe for rose buns with apples was a 100% success. After baking, I carefully separate them from the parchment, they are easily removed, and transfer them to a dish.
I definitely sprinkle them with powdered sugar on top, since I didn’t add any additional sweetness to them. You can eat puff pastry roses with apples either warm or already cooled, this does not affect the taste. I can say with confidence that although this is too simple a pastry, it will definitely decorate any table, even for a holiday. Therefore, try to make such beauty, you will definitely succeed. Bon appetit!

- Sweet and sour apples - 3-4 pcs.

How to make delicious puff pastries with apples
Thaw the puff pastry. You can leave it on a cutting board in the evening, covering it with a towel to prevent it from getting too windy. If you are short on time, use the microwave to defrost (be careful not to accidentally bake it).
As soon as the dough is defrosted, you can immediately turn on the oven at 200 °C. The puff pastries cook at lightning speed, so the oven must be ready.
Apple filling
To make the filling, wash the apples and peel them with a sharp knife or vegetable peeler. Cut into small diamonds and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Stir. As soon as the apples release their juice, carefully drain it. For the filling, use only dry, well-wrung out pieces, otherwise the puff pastries will get soggy and fall apart in the oven.
There is another 100% way to make the filling so that the puff pastries do not leak in the oven. Place a teaspoon of butter in a frying pan and add apples and sugar. For flavor, you can mix apples with vanilla sugar, not regular sugar. Simmer the apples and sugar over the heat for 10 minutes, stirring constantly with a spatula. During this time, the sugar and juice from the apples will turn into a thick syrup, and the fruits themselves will become soft and give up excess liquid.
Forming puff pastries
Puff pastry is usually not rolled out to make the finished product more fluffy and flaky. Therefore, you can only roll it out lightly so that the final thickness is at least 0.5 cm. Cut the layer into quarters (about 10 -20 cm). Each piece of dough will be a puff pastry.
If you decide to make as many puffs as possible, in this case the dough needs to be rolled out thinly. But the finished baked goods will not be as voluminous.
Place 1 tbsp on each piece of dough. l. apples There should be enough space from the filling to the edges of the dough. Remember that the dough is no less tasty than the filling; you should not add too much to avoid the filling leaking out.
You can form the puff pastries directly on the baking sheet so as not to transfer them from the cutting board.
On top you need to cover the puff pastry with exactly the same size layer of dough. I have a shaped knife roller that allows me to easily make a mesh. That is, you need to run a roller over the dough plate, leaving a pattern that is not completely cut.
Use a knife to spread the mesh apart.
Cover the filled puff pastry with a mesh piece of dough.
If there is no figured roller, you can make closed puff pastries. In this case, cover the apples with exactly the same size layer of dough.
There is another option to make cuts with a regular knife. Make slits at a distance of 1 cm from each other; excess steam will escape through them, and the appearance of the puff pastries will become more interesting.
I press the dough around the edges and press it tightly. You can press the edges with a fork: you will get a beautiful curly rim. Squeeze as hard as possible to prevent the puff pastries from opening in the oven.
Place the pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
To make the puff pastries have an appetizing and crispy crust, brush a mixture of yolk and milk with a brush. Break an egg into a small bowl and scoop out the yolk into a separate cup.
Add 1 tbsp. l. milk and stir the mixture. For crunch, you can lightly add salt to the puff pastries.
Using a pastry brush, coat each puff with this mixture.
To ensure that the delicacy gets a caramel crispy crust in the oven, use the following trick: combine 0.5 tsp. cinnamon and 1 tsp. Sahara.
Stir the dry mixture.
Now sprinkle the puff pastries on top. The sugar will stick well to the egg grease and the puff pastries will get a wonderful crust.
Now another secret to delicious puff pastry in the oven. Using a spray bottle, spray the puff pastries with plain cold water. This way the puff pastries will become even tastier, the dough will rise and reveal its layers much better.
After 20-25 minutes in the oven, the puff pastries will be ready. Be sure to cool the puff pastries before serving. The filling is so hot that you can burn yourself with it!
Sprinkle the finished treat with powdered sugar through a sieve. It will be even tastier and more beautiful. Bon appetit! The puff pastries are satisfying and moderately sweet. Based on this recipe, you can prepare puff pastries with any berries, just add 1 tbsp to the filling. l. starch to prevent leakage.
