Equipment

  • 1 (3-inch) round cookie cutter

Ingredients

US Customary - Metric
  • 3 golden delicious apples medium, or other kinds of apples for baking
  • 2 tablespoons raisins
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon whole-wheat breadcrumbs plain
  • 1 tablespoon pine nuts
  • 1 tablespoon walnuts crushed
  • 1 whole-wheat puff pastry store-bought or regular puff pastry
  • flour for sprinkling on the board
  • 1 egg lightly whisked

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Peel, core, and dice the apples.
  • Over medium heat, in a large saucepan, combine the apples, raisins, coconut oil or butter, 2 tablespoons maple syrup and cinnamon then cook for about 10 minutes. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, remaining maple syrup, pine nuts and walnuts. Set aside.
  • Lay the puff pastry flat on the table or dough board sprinkled with flour. Sprinkle flour on the dough too so that they don't stick together. Using the round 3-inch cookie cutter, cut 7 circles.
  • Sprinkle the nut & breadcrumb mixture at the center of each cut dough then spoon some of the apple mixture on top.
  • Close the sacks by putting all the edges together then pinch them together.
  • With the remaining dough where you cut out the circles, get a little piece and roll on the plate to make thin cylinders. You can wrap this on top of each sack.
  • Place the apple puffs on a silicone baking mat or a baking pan lined with parchment paper.
  • Brush the egg wash on the apple puffs.
  • Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until the apple puffs become golden.
  • Let them cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.
