Apple Pasties
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 6-8 tablespoons ice water
- 4 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough. Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, combine the diced apples, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Toss to coat the apples evenly and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8 inch thickness. Using a round cutter or a small plate, cut the dough into 8 circles.
- Divide the apple filling evenly among the dough circles, placing it on one half of each circle, leaving a small border around the edge.
- Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Use a fork to crimp the edges and seal the pasties.
- Place the pasties on the prepared baking sheet, brush the tops with the beaten egg, and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pasties are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Allow the pasties to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Apple pasties, also known as apple turnovers, have a rich history dating back to medieval times in England. These delectable treats were originally made with a flaky pastry crust and filled with sweet, spiced apples. The dish gained popularity in Cornwall, where it became a staple in local cuisine. Chefs in Cornwall perfected the art of making apple pasties, and today, the region is renowned for its delicious and authentic version of this classic dessert. The key to a perfect apple pasty lies in the balance of tart and sweet apples, as well as the flakiness of the pastry. For a unique twist, some chefs add a hint of cinnamon or nutmeg to enhance the flavor profile. When visiting Cornwall, be sure to indulge in a freshly baked apple pasty from a local bakery for an unforgettable culinary experience.
