How to Make Baked Apples In Pastry

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. 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.
  3. Cut 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, diced, into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. 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.
  5. Divide the dough into six equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into an 8-inch square.
  6. Peel, core, and halve six medium apples (or pears).
  7. In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup chopped dried prunes, 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots, and 1/2 cup raisins.
  8. Place one apple half in the center of each pastry square. Fill the cavity with the dried fruit mixture.
  9. 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.
  10. Roll out the leftover pastry, cut into decorative leaves, and place them on top of each apple.
  11. Brush each pastry-wrapped apple with a beaten egg.
  12. Place the apples on a lightly greased baking sheet.
  13. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the apples are tender.
  14. Serve warm with a dollop of fresh cream and a sprig of fresh mint.
