Directions
Prepare the Apple Filling:
In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
Add 1 diced apple, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and a pinch of cinnamon.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and caramelized (about 5-7 minutes).
Remove from heat and let it cool.
Prepare the Dough:
In a mixing bowl, beat 1 egg with a pinch of salt, 8 g of vanilla sugar, and 50 g of sugar until well combined.
Add 2 tablespoons of milk and 50 g of melted butter; mix well.
Gradually add 250 g of flour and 4 g of baking powder, stirring until a soft dough forms.
Assemble the Pastry:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick.
Spread the cooled apple mixture evenly over the dough.
Fold or roll the dough over the apple filling, sealing the edges as needed.
Place the pastry on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and cooked through.
Serve:
Let the pastry cool slightly before dusting it with powdered sugar.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Enjoy with a hot cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate for a cozy treat.
Add a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra sweetness.
Cooking Tips
Make sure the apple filling is completely cool before spreading it on the dough to prevent it from becoming too soft.
For a more caramelized apple filling, cook the apples a bit longer until they reach a deeper golden color.
If you prefer a thicker pastry, roll the dough slightly thicker and adjust the baking time.
