Tasty Apple Puff Pastries

Don't you love Pinterest? I do. I found this recipe, pinned it then made it.

Before Pinterest I would have seen the site and thought how nice it would be to make that but would never get around to it because I didn't have an easy way to keep track of which site it was on.

I have to give credit where credit is due. This recipe (with a few little tweaks of my own) came from a blog called Lulu At Home. Thanks Lulu!

Ingredients:

• 4 apples, peeled, cored and sliced (I used Honey Crisp but Granny Smith or Gala would be nice too)
• 2 Tbs. butter
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 Tbs apple cider
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 2 pieces of thawed puff pastry (I've had lots of luck with Pepperidge Farm puff pastry which can be found in the frozen section with desserts.)
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 Tbs. raw sugar

Instructions:

• Put apples, butter, brown sugar, cider and cinnamon in a skillet.
• Cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are very soft.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
• Preheat oven to 400F.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place one piece of puff pastry on it, and spoon the apple mixture on top, leaving one inch boarder.
• Place another piece of puff pasty to cover the mixture.
• Fold the edges over and crimp the boarder with a fork to seal it.
• Brush the pie with the beaten egg.
• Sprinkle the top with raw sugar.
• Cut a few little slits with a sharp paring knife on top of the pie to let the air out while baking.
• Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until pastry puffs up and turns golden brown.
• Serve with ice cream.

Enjoy!
