How to Make Apple Pastries
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, nutmeg, and salt.
- Cut in the chilled butter and shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and form it into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness.
- Use a 3-4 inch cookie cutter or knife to cut out pastry shapes.
- Place a spoonful of diced caramel apples in the center of each pastry shape.
- Fold the pastry over to create a half-moon or other desired shape, pressing edges to seal.
- Brush the pastries with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy!
