Ingredients :
6 medium-sized apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp)
cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2 sheets of store-bought puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Caramel sauce or vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish and set aside.
Peel, core and then cut the apples into thin wedges. Combine sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves in a bowl. Coat apple slices using sugar mixture.
On a floured surface roll out pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into squares that could accommodate an apple wedge inside them.
Top each square of pastry with an apple slice. Scatter around the butter cubes. Finally, fold them over sealing their edges with a fork or your fingers and place in a baking dish.
Dust some beaten egg on top of the dumplings for a golden appearance.
It took 30-35 minutes to bake until the pastry became brown and apples soft.
Serve warm along with caramel sauce or if desired, scoop of vanilla ice cream.
