These Honey Apple Puffs are an easy, festive snack

There’s never too many options for snacks, especially when it comes to holiday celebrations like Rosh Hashanah. .

To create your own batch of this cozy autumn hug, you’ll need an unzipped package-I bought all butter pie crust. (If you want a challenge, you can make your own honey apple puffs. classic puff pastry Also rough puff, too. If the box doesn’t say “all butter,” it’s likely made with shortening instead of butter. Shortening has no flavor, and sometimes even a factory flavor. The pie crust is made of only fat and flour, and all of the flavor is determined by the fat, so you want to eat it the best, so check the ingredients..

Most puff pastries are sold in frozen rolls (easy to carry, long lasting, and no risk of damage). Melt the fat. Follow the unzipping instructions on the box. It usually needs to be left on the counter for several hours with careful monitoring. You don’t want the pie crust to get hot, so check it regularly. It should always be cool to the touch. Another less risky option is to thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

When you’re ready to make apple puffs, start by preparing the apples. Use relatively small apples. Slice them crosswise, so the diameter of the thickest apple slice should be no larger than the diameter of the circular cutter you use for the pie crust. Slice into inch-thick slices. If you go to the center, you can see the star pattern of the apple flower in the core. Love this look. Eaten, the texture is barely firmer than the rest of the apple. If for some reason you don’t like this, you can core out the center. Remove any seeds that might get caught in the slice.

saute the apples Heat a small amount of butter on each side over medium-low heat for about 2 minutes. This allows the apple slices to fully cook and retain their moisture so they don’t dry out and turn into fruit skins in the oven. Remove the apple from the fire, Sprinkle them with a pinch of cinnamon, Set them aside to cool for a few minutes. Meanwhile, spread thawed but still cold puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut out 2-inch circles using a biscuit cutter or cookie cutter. (If you don’t have a cutter, use a knife to cut out squares.) Place the pie crust circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.Puffs…puff, so it’s best to leave about an inch of space between each other.I was able to get exactly 12 circles from one sheet Trader Joe’s pie crust(Freeze scraps or bake for fun croutons.)

Accelerate from here. Place an apple ball on top of each pastry circle, press gently in the oven to prevent it from slipping (this pastry will expand dramatically, do not test), and sprinkle each liberally with sugar. About 1/4 tsp. Bake in a 400°F oven for about 15 minutes. It’s done when the puff expands along the edges. The top will be golden brown and the bottom edge will be a deep roasted brown, but not burnt.An undercooked pie crust is not bad, but a fully cooked pie crust is Gorgeous. When in doubt, Let it sit for another minute.

Once the apple puffs are out of the oven, let them cool for a minute or two before handling. Place the puffs on a plate and give each one a long drizzle of honey.When the puffs are still warm, the honey collects in the slightly concave center of each apple, creating a beautiful, delicious, gooey center. A festival of feelings—Crunchy, soft and syrupy performance in desserts. But where the texture is bold, the flavor is subtle, with floral honey, rich butter and hearty apple cinnamon lingering in the mouth. These honey apple puffs are best enjoyed within a few hours of baking.

Fry the apple slices in a buttered skillet over medium-low heat for about 2 minutes on each side. The apples will soften a little, but not fall apart or become too colored. Remove apples from heat and sprinkle with cinnamon. Set aside to cool.

Cut thawed puff pastry into 12 2-inch wide circles. It should be slightly larger than an apple slice. (Proper circle he cuts into squares if he doesn’t have a cutter.) Place an apple slice on top of each round and gently press down on the apple. Sprinkle each round with 1/4 teaspoon (or a pinch) of sugar.

Bake in a 400°F oven for 12-15 minutes, until browned. Serve immediately on a plate, sprinkle with honey and sprinkle with cinnamon. If necessary.
