Sweet Pastries

Sweet Pastries

The day my exams finally finished my friend kept talking about how much he’d love some croissants, and we went around a few bakeries looking for them (to no success). The next day I just wanted to make some pastries, but having found out that it takes about a day or half a day to make the pastry we resorted to using the premade puff pastry available most places very cheap. These two below are such a simple thing to do, and puff pastry can be found pretty cheap in places like Aldi and Iceland that one could easily get fat making these regularly. These aren’t ‘recipes’ persay I feel but good ideas of what to do anyways!

Ingredients:

- 1 pack puff pastry

- ½ - 1 apple

- 3-4 tbsp brown sugar (approx.)

- 2 tbsp dairy free butter

- 2 tsp cinnamon

- 1 tsp vanilla essence

For the mini cinnamon pastries:

1. Take one sheet of the puff pastry and roll it out. Mix the butter, 1-2 tbsp brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla essence in a bowl (add more or less of quantities as you like). Spread over the sheet completely.

2. Roll up into a log. Now cut into segments about 2-3 cm thick. Place on baking tray and pop into the oven at about 200⁰ until browns lightly.

For the apple turnovers:

1. Chop up apple into small chunks. Mash some of the apple up as well. Mix all together with sugar (1-2tbsp, but to taste).

2. Roll out the puff pastry. Cut into squares. (we got two big ones out of it, but whatever size you like). Spread the apple mx onto one half of the square (in a triangle distribution). Fold the other half over, seal, and place on tray in the oven at about 200⁰ until browns lightly.

Enjoy!
