Delight in these warm and comforting cinnamon apple pastry pockets, perfect for a cozy dessert or a sweet treat.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
Peel and core the apples, keeping them whole.
Use a corer tool for uniform results.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Sifting the dry ingredients can help avoid lumps.
Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Use cold butter for a flakier pastry.
Gradually add the milk, mixing until a dough forms.
Avoid overmixing to keep the dough tender.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut into six squares.
Chill the dough if it becomes too soft to handle.
Place an apple in the center of each square and wrap the dough around it, sealing the edges.
Pinch the seams tightly to prevent leaks.
Arrange the wrapped apples in a casserole dish.
Leave some space between each for even cooking.
In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, water, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes.
Stir constantly to dissolve the sugar completely.
Remove the sauce from heat and stir in the butter.
Adding butter off-heat ensures a smooth sauce.
Pour the sauce over the wrapped apples in the dish.
Ensure each pastry is well-coated for maximum flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, basting the pastry with the sauce twice during baking.
Basting helps to keep the pastry moist and flavorful.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Serving warm enhances the flavors and textures.
