How to Make Baked Apples In Pastry
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (or your preferred spices) into a large bowl.
- Cut 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, diced, into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add 1/2 cup ice water (or 1 egg yolk and 1/4 cup ice water for extra richness), mixing until a smooth, pliable dough forms.
- Divide the dough into six equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into an 8-inch square.
- Peel, core, and halve six medium apples (or pears).
- In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup chopped dried prunes, 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots, and 1/2 cup raisins.
- Place one apple half in the center of each pastry square. Fill the cavity with the dried fruit mixture.
- Brush the edges of each pastry square with a little water. Bring the edges up and over the apple, sealing well. Trim any excess pastry.
- Roll out the leftover pastry, cut into decorative leaves, and place them on top of each apple.
- Brush each pastry-wrapped apple with a beaten egg.
- Place the apples on a lightly greased baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Serve warm with a dollop of fresh cream and a sprig of fresh mint.
