Puff braid with caramelized apples

Description

I love puff pastry so much! It turns out incredibly tasty, fragrant and airy! And caramelized apples, in my opinion, are the perfect filling for such a simple yet surprisingly tasty tea dessert.

Cooking

Step 1

Lay out the dough ahead of time. I post it as soon as I start preparing the filling - it thaws normally in 15-20 minutes. We heat the oven to 180 degrees.

Step 2

Wash apples, peel and core. Cut each apple into small slices.

Step 3

Melt butter in a saucepan, add apples, sugar and cinnamon. Stir, close the lid and simmer over medium heat for 7-10 minutes. The apples should release juice.

Step 4

After the specified time, remove the lid, turn the fire to maximum and fry the apples until all the moisture has evaporated and caramelized. Be sure to stir so as not to burn, but do it carefully so that the filling does not turn into porridge.

Step 5

The dough has defrosted. My package of puff pastry consists of two layers. We roll each layer IN ONE DIRECTION (this is important!) To a thickness of about 3 mm - a rectangle should be obtained.

Step 6

Lay half of the apple filling lengthwise in the center of the rectangle.

Step 7

We cut the edges of the dough with a knife or a special roller into strips 1.5-2 cm wide and braid the pigtail.

Step 8

We do the same with the second layer of dough.

Step 9

We put the braids in a preheated oven for 20-30 minutes until golden brown. Cool the finished braids a little, sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.
