Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 sheets Puff Pastry Sheets
  • Unsalted Butter (as needed) melted
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 2 tablespoons Water
  • Organic Apples use Granny Smith Apples cored and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Water
  • 3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg

Tools Needed

  • 2 inch Round Cookie Cutter
  • 3 inch Round Cookie Cutter

Directions

Preheat oven to 350º.

Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 12 rounds. Using a 2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out the center of 6 of the 3-inch rounds. In a small bowl, mix together the eggs and water. This is the egg wash.

On a cookie sheet greased lightly with cooking spray, place the 6 whole 3-inch rounds. Next, paint the edges with the butter and set the remaining rounds on top. Press down slightly on the puff pastry. Brush the tops with the egg wash. When these cook, they will puff up to form bowls. Cook until golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

In a large sauce pan, heat the water and butter over high heat until butter is melted. Add the apples, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cook until soft and tender.

Fill the puff pastries and top with your favorite garnish, such as whipped cream.

Notes:
I like to top these with whipped cream dusted with cinnamon sugar.

    I made this for a preXmas party and it was a hit! My kids helped out with the cutting of the dough and we baked the scraps separately with cinnamon and sugar as munchies. I also used parchment paper instead of putting the dough on a greased cookie sheet.

    I made this recipe for my recent holiday party, and it was a resounding success that no one hardly touched the Chocolate Cake, Christmas Cookies, Holiday Fudge. I had so many compliments, that this is my NEW traditional holiday Dessert! Only thing is, it is so delicious and such a hit, I have to serve it more than during the holidays!
