Ingredients: Ingredients for the Filling: 3 apples 8 dried figs 1/3 cup of sugar 2 tablespoons of butter 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder 1/3 cup of water
Ingredients for the Dough: Puff Pastry (that you can find in the frozen section of the supermarket) 1 egg
Steps for making the Filling: 1- Peel and core the apples. Cut the figs into small pieces. 2- On medium heat, cook the apples and figs in butter with the sugar, cinnamon, and water. Stir from time to time. 3- When the apples are almost cooked, mash them with a fork until you get a smooth mixture.
Steps for rolling the Pastries: 1- Roll the puff pastry until medium thin. It has to be cold; otherwise, it becomes sticky. 2- Cut circles of dough using a cup or a cookie cutter. Separate the egg white from the egg yolk, and brush the edges of the dough with the egg white. 3- Put a teaspoon of filling in the middle of the dough circle, and close the dough creating a half-circle. Decorate the edges by pressing them with a fork. 4- Mix the remaining egg white with the egg yolk, and add 1/2 tablespoon of water. Brush the pastries with the egg wash.
Steps for baking the Pastries: 1- Preheat the oven to 400 F. Bake the pastries for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Serving: Serve the pastries warm or cold. Enjoy!
