Custard-stuffed Danish apples are a delightful and impressive dessert that combines the richness of custard with the natural sweetness of apples, all enveloped in flaky puff pastry. This recipe is perfect for impressing guests at a dinner party or simply treating yourself to a luxurious treat.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well to ensure that the apple slices are evenly coated.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets to smooth any creases.
- Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares (for a total of 8 squares).
- Place a generous spoonful of the apple mixture in the center of each puff pastry square.
- Fold the corners of each square towards the center, over the apple mixture, and press firmly to seal. You can also use a little water on the edges to help them stick.
- Place the assembled pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed up.
- Remove the pastries from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Optionally, sprinkle with a little powdered sugar before serving.
Tips:
- Ensure the puff pastry is thawed but still cold when you start working with it to make it easier to handle and to achieve a flaky texture.
- Opt for a firm apple variety like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to maintain a good texture after baking.
- Pre-cooking the apples slightly can prevent them from releasing too much moisture into the pastry during baking.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the custard or a sprinkle of nutmeg along with the cinnamon.
- Serve the Danish apples warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an added touch of indulgence.
Creating custard-stuffed Danish apples is a rewarding process that results in a dessert that is as delicious as it is beautiful. With these tips in hand, you'll be able to achieve perfect results that are sure to impress anyone who gets to enjoy this delightful treat.
