Baking with apples is one of our family's favorites. And simple, and always tasty, and, as a rule, budget-friendly. Today we will prepare puff pastries with apples, raisins and cinnamon from ready-made puff pastry without yeast.
I use the same dough to make beautiful and tasty ones with canned pineapple rings; the recipe for making them is even simpler and faster. Today's apple puffs require a little fiddling, but the results are worth it. 🙂
Ingredients:(for 8 puffs)
- 1 package (500 g) yeast-free puff pastry
- 650 g sweet and sour apples
- 50 g raisins
- 30 g butter
- 3 tbsp. l. sugar + 10 g vanilla sugar
- 1 tbsp. l. lemon juice
- 1/3 tsp. cinnamon
If you don't like raisins, then use 700 g of apples for the filling.
Preparation:
Cut the package of puff pastry and leave to defrost at room temperature. You can cover it with a film or bag on top to prevent it from getting airy. While we prepare the filling, the dough will just defrost.
We sort out the raisins and pour hot water from the kettle so that they steam a little.
I prepare a very tasty filling for apple puffs according to the same principle as for and for. For the filling, I buy green sweet and sour apples such as Golden, Granny Smith or Semerenko with dense, crispy pulp. Pieces of apples of these varieties retain their shape well during heat treatment and do not become soft in puree.
Peel the apples from skins and seeds and cut them into small cubes. Add 1 tbsp. l. lemon juice and mix.
Melt butter in a frying pan and add chopped apples. Pour 3 tbsp on top. l. sugar and a bag (10 g) of vanilla sugar. Instead of vanilla sugar, you can add vanillin at the tip of a teaspoon.
Keep the frying pan over fairly high heat, stirring the contents all the time. First, the sugar will begin to melt and the apples will release juice, and quite a lot of syrup will form. Stir the apples constantly until the liquid evaporates, so that they are evenly saturated with syrup and do not burn. It is advisable to do this with a silicone spatula, delicately turning over the apple pieces and trying not to injure them.
When there is almost no liquid left, which won’t last long, add cinnamon and raisins, after draining the water.
Stir the filling for some more time until there is no liquid left at all, and as a result we get this delicious filling for puff pastries:
Set the pan aside and let it cool. Now you can turn on the oven so that it heats up to 200-220 degrees.
By this time, the puff pastry has already defrosted. We will work with one sheet, and leave the second one under the film for now.
Lightly flour the table and cut the dough sheet into 4 pieces.
Let's start making puff pastries. There are two options here. If you are cooking, as they say, in a hurry, then you can not roll out the dough at all, but do it like this. First, place a full tablespoon of filling onto the dough square and connect the opposite corners. To prevent the corners from coming unglued, you need to lightly moisten them with water.
Then connect the remaining two corners, try to glue them more securely. Pinch the corners of the puff pastry with your fingers to prevent the filling from leaking out.
I took these two photos the last time I baked puff pastries just like that, quickly. 🙂
But if you have time, try making beautiful puff braids, it’s very simple.
Roll out the dough square thinly to a size of approximately 15*17 cm. Visually divide it into 3 parts and make cuts along the edges to make 8-9 strips.
Place the apple filling in the middle and begin to braid the dough strips.
We bend the remaining ends downwards.
Place the puff pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the puff pastries until golden brown. It is difficult to say the exact time, since all ovens behave differently. My baking process took 35 minutes, yours may be longer or shorter.
If your oven bakes unevenly and the baked goods usually burn, then 15 minutes after the start of baking, place a flat container of water on the bottom of the oven.
Every housewife likes to keep ready-made puff pastry in the freezer “just in case.” Sudden guests will not be taken by surprise if you prepare a delicious treat for tea in 15-20 minutes - puff pastry puffs with apples. The recipe is so simple that even a first grader can handle it. And even the step-by-step photos here seem superfluous, but my habit of photographing the entire process is so strong that I can’t resist!
If you don’t trust store-bought products, you can stock up for future use. Then defrost and prepare puff pastries with cheese, apples, cherries... Huge scope for creativity!
Apple Puff Recipe Ingredients:
- Puff pastry (yeast-free is more suitable) - 400-500 g
- Sweet and sour apples - 3-4 pcs.
- Granulated sugar - 3 tbsp. l.
- Small egg - 1 pc.
- Milk - 1 tbsp. l.
- Cinnamon - 0.5 tsp.
- Powdered sugar for decoration
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 time is short, 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.

Apple puff pastry puffs - tricks and useful tips
To make good puff pastry yourself, use only natural fats with the highest percentage of fat content.
If the butter itself is salty, reduce the amount of salt added to the dough.
To make the dough more elastic, add a little citric acid to the water.
Fat and sour cream for kneading puff pastry must be cold, and the added liquid must be ice-cold, but without ice.
Do not sprinkle too much sugar on the apples; a lot of juice will be released. The product will not rise well and will become damp inside.
To better hold the dough together, brush its surface with whipped egg white.
If the outside of a product baked from puff pastry is brushed with a thin layer of beaten yolk, it will acquire a golden color.
