Ingredients

Step cooking

1. If the dough is frozen, then take it out of the package, put it on a flat surface sprinkled with flour, cover with a damp clean towel and leave it to defrost for half an hour. Usually in a pack there are two layers of puff pastry, and we will both use them.
   
2. I wash three large apples and peel them. We remove the core from them and cut into small cubes.
   
3. We put a non-stick frying pan on the stove, heat it, put 30 grams of butter.
   
4. Spread the chopped apples. Fry the apples over medium heat for 3-4 minutes.
   
5. Add 45 grams of granulated sugar to the pan and continue to fry, stirring, until caramel color.
   
6. When the apples are covered with beautiful caramel, put them on a plate and leave to cool.
   
7. Lightly roll out the thawed dough and cut each layer into four equal parts.
   
8. From one edge of the piece we make slots, retreating about one centimeter. We also do the rest of the dough pieces.
   
9. We put the cooled apples on that part of the dough where there are no slots.
   
10. We close the puff with the side with slots and squeeze along the edges. Beautiful edges can be made with a fork.
    
11. We perform these manipulations with the whole test and grease each puff with a beaten chicken egg. Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius. We cover the baking sheet with parchment paper, sprinkle it lightly with flour and lay out our puffs.
    
12. Put the puffs in the oven for 10 minutes. After ten minutes, reduce the temperature to 180 degrees Celsius and bake another 20 minutes.
    
13. We shift the finished treat to a large dish, let cool and serve.
    

Decoration methods and serving options

• It is important to know that puff pastry, especially bought at a store, cannot be rolled out much. If this needs to be done, then only in one direction. Otherwise, you can spoil the whole structure of this test, and after baking it will not have many layers.
• Of course, other ingredients can be used as a filling. For example, you can safely put cherries, peaches, plums, nuts, caramel, chocolate. In this case, it all depends on your imagination.
• Ground apple cinnamon can be added to the apple filling, as it simply blends perfectly with this fruit.
• Finished puffs can be decorated with icing sugar and sprinkled with chocolate topping.
