These are just delicious. Fresh, defrosted, with pie dough or puff pastry. It’s like the comfort food of desserts.
Ingredients
1 pkg (2 rolls) sweet pie dough OR 4-5 sweet
pie shells, defrosted and rolled out
4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, thinly sliced
1⁄4 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1⁄4 cup bourbon
1⁄4 cup brown sugar
2 tsp cornstarch
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 egg, lightly beaten
white sugar, for sprinkling
Directions
Place peeled apples into a medium nonstick pot set over medium high heat. Add salt; carefully stir until all the liquid has evaporated. (Alternatively, you can allow the mixture to cook for 1 minute so the salt can draw out any liquid from the apples, and then drain out water.)
Once there is no liquid in the pot, carefully add vanilla and bourbon; stir to coat. Cook for 3 minutes until bourbon has reduced by half. Add brown sugar to the pot; stir and cook for 2 minutes. Sprinkle in cornstarch; stir immediately to combine. Cook for 2 minutes. Turn off heat; immediately add blueberries. Gently
stir to combine. Set aside to allow mixture to cool completely.
Preheat oven to 350°F / 180°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut pie dough into 6 x 2 inch rectangles. Using a pastry brush, brush a very small amount of egg on the borders of 2 sides of each rectangle. Place 1 heaping tablespoon of apple mixture on the first 1⁄3 of each rectangle. Fold rectangles in half
so that the apple mixture is completely covered. Use a fork to press the edges of the dough together.
Brush the tops with beaten egg and a very light sprinkling of sugar. Place on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 14-18 minutes until baked through and golden.
Cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Freezer tip
Once completely cool, lay in a single layer, wrap gently in plastic wrap and freeze overnight. Once frozen, store in a ziptop bag. Remove from freezer 2 hours before serving!
Variation
You can absolutely trade the puff pastry for store bought sweet pie dough. In Hebrew it is called batzek parish matock, and it is delicious!
