Once upon a time in a magical land of kitchens and cooking shows, there was a talented chef by the name of Nadiya Hussain who had concocted a splendid recipe for apple palm pies that would make even the most serious foodies drool with delight. And lucky for you, my dear reader, I have acquired this very recipe to share with you today.
Let’s start with the basics. What are apple palm pies, you ask? Well, they’re like mini apple pies, but instead of a traditional pie crust, they’re made with puff pastry that’s folded over to create a cute little handheld pie. It’s the perfect treat for when you’re craving something sweet but don’t want to commit to a whole slice of pie.
Now, let’s get to the good stuff. First up, you’ll need some puff pastry. Get ready to roll out that dough and cut it into circles. Don’t worry if they’re not perfectly round, we’re keeping it rustic here. Next, grab some apples, cinnamon, sugar, and a few other ingredients to create the filling. Mix it all up and you’re ready to assemble your mini pies!
Take your circles of puff pastry and place a dollop of the apple filling in the center. Fold over the dough and pinch the edges to seal in the goodness. Brush with an egg wash and bake in the oven until golden brown and crispy.
But wait, there’s more! Let’s take a closer look at those images. First up, we have a lovely photo of Nadiya’s apple palm pies from BBC Time to Eat. Check out that flaky pastry! Now, let’s move on to the mini apple palm pies. They’re so cute, I could just eat them up! And that filling looks positively delectable.
But enough ogling over pictures, let’s get back to the recipe. Here’s everything you’ll need:
For the filling:
– 2 apples, peeled and diced
– 2 tbsp granulated sugar
– 1 tsp cinnamon
– 1/4 tsp nutmeg
– 1/4 tsp allspice
