Apple and Egg Pastries That Melt in Your Mouth
Ingredients
- 1 medium apple, peeled and diced (about 150 g)
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk
- 1 ½ cups (180 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons (30 g) sugar
- ½ teaspoon (2 g) cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon (5 g) baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon (1 g) salt
- 4 tablespoons (56 g) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced apple, sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and remaining salt.
- In another bowl, beat the egg and add the milk. Combine this with the dry ingredients, mixing until just blended. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the melted butter into the batter and gently fold it in. Your mixture should be thick and lumpy.
- Scoop about a tablespoon of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Use the back of the spoon to create a small indentation in the center.
- Fill each indentation with a spoonful of the apple mixture.
- Cover with another dollop of batter, ensuring the apples are sealed inside. Repeat for all pastries, leaving space between each.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted.
- Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Recipe Notes
- Choose a crisp apple variety such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best flavor and texture.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle some crushed nuts or raisins mixed with the apples.
- If you’re short on time, store-bought pastry dough can be used instead of the batter.
