Apple Cinnamon Pie

Preparation Time : 20 Min
Baking Time : 30 Min

INGREDIENTS
2                 Puff Pastry Sheets  (I Use Pepperidge Farm brand)
                   Note : You can find them at any local groceries store.
4                 Green apples, peeled and cut into 1/3" slices
1/2 Cup   Brown Sugar
2 Tsp        Cinnamon Powder
1                 Egg lightly beaten for egg wash
1/4 Cup   Unsalted Butter

APPLE PREPARATION
  1. In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter.Add the sliced apples & cook until lightly browned.
  2. Reduce the heat and add brown sugar & cinnamon.
  3. Stir occasionally until the apples become soft and caramelized.
          

PUFF PREPARATION
  • Remove the pastry sheets and thaw them for 30 min. Make sure they are soft before you make the puffs.
  • Cut the pastry sheets into little squares and add the caramelized apples onto it.Pour the remaining syrup onto the apples.                                                                                     
                                                  
  • Close one of the opposite edges and apply water for the edges to stick.
BAKING
  • Cut slits down the center of the pastry to create vents.
  • Beat an egg and put a thin coating on top of the puffs with a brush(also called egg wash).This gives a nice coloring and crispiness to the puffs.
  • Now sprinkle the top with coarse sugar.
           
  • Bake for 15 - 20 min at 400 F till the puff rises and gives out a brownish color.
