APPLES AGAIN ?! Yes … but with walnuts this time and puff pastry … be BRAVE, another LAST apple dessert recipe this weekend and then nothing until next autumn or winter !

What else was I supposed to do ? I still had a jar of my apple compote in the refrigerator. I still had puff pastry that I had frozen and many, many, many walnuts brought to me by friends. It was a last-minute idea, we liked it, made it several times and now it will be part of a larger recipe for a Valentine’s Day dessert.

The twisting is optional because let’s be honest, some will tend to flatten after baking, which is why it’s a good idea to chill them first. Actually, just CHILL EVERYTHING before !

Enjoy and see you this weekend for a Valentine’s Day dessert special … :)

10 puff pastry twists

ingredients

dough

250 grams puff pastry rectangle (see my recipe here)

filling

70 grams (¼ cup) apple compote (see my recipe here)
70 grams (½ cup) ground walnut powder
2 tbsp + 2 tbsp granulated sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
1/8 tsp ground allspice
1/8 tsp ground cloves
egg wash (1 egg yolk + 1 tbsp milk)

garnish

3-4 tbsp icing sugar

instructions

make your own puff pastry dough by following my recipe (divided by half) or use a store-bought version and form into a square measuring 25 X 25 cm, refrigerate until ready to use
grind walnuts into a powder in a food-processor and combine (in a mixing bowl) with apple compote (apple sauce), sugar (if not sweet enough) and spices, mix well and chill in the refrigerator
cut dough in half, spread out a layer of apple-walnut filling onto one rectangle of puff pastry dough (avoiding the longer top and bottom edges, brush the top and bottom edges (1 cm wide) with egg wash, cover with second rectangle of puff pastry dough and press down to seal
cut ten 2,5 cm wide x 12,5 cm long sections of dough with filling, brush with egg wash, sprinkle with 2 tbsp more granulated sugar and either leave flat or twist and place on a baking paper covered baking sheet and chill (before baking)
preheat oven to 210°C and bake puff pastry twists for 10-12 minutes
remove from oven, let cool completely and sprinkle with icing sugar.
