Apfeltaschen -- Apple Puff Pastry

                          Apfeltaschen
                       Apple Puff Pastry 

In Germany, you can find filled Puff Pastry with Apples everywhere. We love them. It's like a 
mini apple pie to go. 
This recipe I found at Lorraine. She is from England and she did that one on her show. She added
Ginger in her Original recipe. I didn't. You may want to, if you like. Just give it your own little
twist.


This is what you need:

- 1 sheet of Puff Pastry

- 2 big apples or 4 small ones, cut in little cubes

- Cinnamon

- 2-3 TBSP Butter

- Handful brown sugar

- Egg wash


This is how you do it:

It's actually really simple and fast. Just peel your apples, cut them in little cubes and put them in 
a frying pan along with the Butter. Let them fry just for a little bit. Then you add the cinnamon and Sugar (and ginger if you like) and stir and let it softly cook till the apple is nice soft.

Cool completely 

Take the Puff Pastry out of the box. Let it thaw just for a bit so you can work it. Roll it a bit thinner
and cut in 6 even pieces.

Brush Egg wash all over the 4 sides. (Egg wash is just a scrambled up egg with a bit water)

Fill the Puff Pastry with the cooled Apples but don't overfill. Fold them together and use a fork
to squeeze around the edges. Just like Ravioli.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and bake the apple bags for 20-25 min till their nice golden brown.

Let them cool before you dust them with powdered sugar. Enjoy

Guten Appetit
