How to Store

Keep leftover apple puff pastries in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes to restore crispiness.

How to Freeze

Freeze unbaked pastries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to an airtight container and store for up to 3 months. Bake straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

How To Make Them

Peel and cut the apples into very thin slices, about 4mm thick.

Unroll the puff pastry on a cutting board and cut it into rectangular pieces.

Place 6-7 apple slices on each pastry rectangle, slightly overlapping them, while leaving a border around the edges.

Brush the apple slices with apricot jam. Then, brush the pastry edges with the beaten egg to create a golden crust when baked.

Transfer the apple puff pastries onto a parchment-lined baking tray. Bake at 180°C (360°F) for 15 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.

Let the pastries cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature for a delightful treat.
