Baked Apples In Pastry Recipes

Steps:

• Preaheat oven to 350F (160C fan forced, 175C conventional).
• Sift the flour, salt and spices into a large bowl.
• Cut the butter into dice and rub into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs (I would use a food processor on pulse to do this).
• Mix in enought water to produce a smooth pliable dough.
• Divide the dough into six pieces and roll out into a square approximately 8 inches.
• Peel the apples with a sharp knife and carefully remove the centre cores with a apple corer.
• Chop the prunes and the apricots and mix these with the raisins.
• Place oe prepared apple into the centre of each pastry square, and fill the cavities with equal amounts of the dried fruit mixture.
• Brush the edges of each square with a little water and draw them up and around the sides of the apples, sealing them well with a little water and trimming off the excess pastry to give a neat finish.
• Roll out the pastry trimmings =, cut into decorative leaves and stick the leaves onto each apples for decoration.
• Glaze each pastry apple with the beaten egg and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
• Bake the apples in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
• Serve hot with the fresh cream and sprigs of fresh mint.

Steps:

• Thaw your puff pastry.
• Pre-heat oven to 350 *F.
• Core and peel apples **DO NOT CUT**.
• Mix cinnamon and sugar in a bowl.
• Place each apple on individual puff pastry sheet.
• Fill center of apple with cinnamon sugar mix.
• Cover apple on all sides with pastry.
• Place on greased cookie sheet.
• In a separate bowl mix wisk egg and brush egg onto pastry.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
• Serve hot with vanilla ice cream.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cut the top 1/2 inch from the 4 apples. Using a melon baller or spoon, dig out the insides of the apples and reserve, leaving 1/4 inch flesh next to the skin. Remove the cores and seeds and discard.
• Coarsely chop the scooped fruit and add it to a medium bowl; you should have at least 1 1/2 cups. If not, peel, core and dice the additional apple and add it to the bowl. Sprinkle the lemon juice over top and toss to coat. Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt to the bowl and mix. Divide the filling among the hollowed-out apples.
• Roll out the pie crust and using a pastry wheel, cut it into 1/4-inch-thick strips. Brush a light coating of egg wash along the top edge of each apple. Weave the strips into a lattice atop each apple, using the egg wash to adhere (see Cook's Note). Lightly brush the top of each lattice with the egg wash.
• Place the apples in an 8-by-8-inch baking dish. Add 1 inch of water to the bottom of the dish. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the crusts are golden brown and the filling is bubbling, an additional 25 minutes. Place the apples on a cooling rack to cool to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Core the apples. Using a paring knife, score a ring around the midriff of each apple, just cutting through the skin to prevent the apples from bursting during baking. Stuff the apples with the figs and almonds. Set on a baking sheet, and bake until puffed up and soft all the way through, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the sugar in a saucepan with a spoonful of water, and boil to a golden caramel, about 5 minutes, depending on how much water you've added. Do not stir the sugar with a spoon, gently swirl the saucepan over the heat until the desired color. You want a nice rich caramel color, but don't let it get too dark.
• Serve the baked apples warm from the oven with the sauce poured over and with a generous slump of cinnamon whipped cream or creme fraiche on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Wash and core apples, leaving enough of the core at the base of the apple to contain the filling.
• Combine the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and chopped pecans in a small bowl. Roll log shapes of the mixture and press enough into each apple to fill the core.
• Fill a 2-quart baking dish with about 3/4 cup water, or enough to cover the bottom. Place the apples upright in the dish. Bake until the apples are soft and the filling is browned, 1 hour.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

• Place peeled and cored (whole) apple in center of layered phyllo. Gently pick up sides of phyllo and gather evenly around apple. Do not enclose apple. Leave the top of the apple exposed and the phyllo edges open. Brush butter lightly around exterior of apple. Repeat process with remaining three apples.
• Pack oat stuffing mixture into cored center of each apple. Mound remaining stuffing atop exposed portion of apple.
