Step cooking
- Rinse one large apple, remove the core. Cut into thin half rings. Apples are best used in sweet varieties. Champion is perfect, this variety is moderately sweet, juicy.
- Roll out a thin layer of ready-made store puff pastry. We make a big square out of it. The resulting square is divided into four identical squares.
- Inside each of them we cut out another square. How to do it right, look at the photo.
- We connect one corner of the outer square with the diagonal angle of the inner square.
- We do the same manipulations with the corners diagonally. In general, you can create dough baskets in any other way. Thus, we form each square of dough.
- In a separate bowl, beat one egg yolk and use a silicone brush to lubricate the edges of the resulting forms.
- We cover the baking sheet with parchment paper and pour four slides of sugar, using one teaspoon for each.
- We straighten each sugar slice approximately according to the size of the dough pieces and spread the dough on top.
- On top of each workpiece lay out sliced apples, giving a beautiful shape.
- If you like the taste of apples with cinnamon, sprinkle it on top. We recommend sprinkling the fruit with lemon juice so that they retain their color.
- Sprinkle sugar on top. If you want a very sweet pastry, sprinkle with plenty of sugar. If not, use less.
- If desired, you can decorate the baskets. Put the berry in the center of the apples, we used cherries.
- Sent to the oven, preheated to 190 degrees. Bake for 15-20 minutes. After that, we take it out, let it cool slightly, transfer it to a flat dish and serve it to the table. Sugar under the dough was caramelized, which gives the baking a special taste.
Dough for apple baskets can be prepared on your own. On our site you can find several recipes for puff pastry.
It is better to eat baked goods immediately after it cools down. If you plan to save, then put in a container, cover with a lid. You can heat the baskets in the microwave for just a minute, and they will seem to be just from the oven.
Instead of apples, the filling of puff pastry can be any jam, boiled condensed milk, fresh berries or fruits. You can also use any savory filling at your discretion. It can be minced meat, mushrooms, rice with vegetables.
