Anyway, here's the so promised post about my apple adventure and lo' an' see! It's nothing less than a Fake Strudel!
It all began the moment here at home we began to get fed up of apples all the time, so I decided it was a better bet to try and make a sweet out of it before the apples were (literally) gonna be left to rot. So next time we went to the supermarket I bought half a kilo of puff pastry and got myself to work.
Doing this dessert is awfully easy actually. You just chop around 4 apples (depending on size), season it with sugar and some cinnamon and stew it, add some raisins and nuts at the end.
Roll out the puff pastry long enough and around 1/4 inch thick. Place the cooled apples in the middle and close the puff pastry. Use some water to help it stick toghether and the brush it all over with an egg white.
Then place it into the over, around 375 ºF and 20 minutes or until the puff pastry has puffed and goldened enough.
Aaaand here's the result:
Not too bad for a fake one, right? The taste was great and remember not to use too much sufar at the beginning since raisins tend to be sweet and those are added in the middle of the preparation.
And here's the delicious inside. You can see my pastry didn't puff, well that was my fault, I tried to make as much space as needed... And there were a fairly big amount of apples. >.<;It taste well, but I felt the lacking of puff in the puff pastry more than other's.
That aside, it was an absolute hit. Gone in a flash. ;3
