Slice apples, then cut out the middle core.
The cut won't show so if you need to use a knife
instead of a fancy little tool, it won't matter.
Coat both sides in a sugar and cinnamon mix.
You can use a pre-made pie crust, but if you're in the mood to make your own,
here's my PIE CRUST recipe.
Roll out pie dough and cut into squares.
Make cuts in the corners as shown in photo.
TIP:
Photos show pie crust rolled out on cutting board. If it's all done on parchment, then it will be easier to transfer to pan. It would probably be best to assemble and fold after movie the crust.
Place coated apples in the center of each square.
OPTIONAL -
Hmmmm.... it might be fun to add walnuts and maybe even raisins.
Fold the OUTER corners towards the center as shown.
Bake on parchment lined pan.
I'm guessing at 350 degrees.
30 minutes seems to be about right.
When it comes out of the oven,
sprinkle a bit of confectioners sugar on top.
Oh my gosh!!!
So pretty!
Recipe Inspiration Source:
I saw this on Instagram. It came up on my feed randomly and was from @gulun_tarifdefteri. It was in another language and translation was not available. It was in video format, so I took screenshots. It looks straightforward enough, but of course, exact measurements were not available. Since it looks so easy, that shouldn't be a problem. Hopefully, this link will lead to the video.
First attempt -
The folding did not turn out so well. Mine were sloppy and not so pretty. I used a store bought pie crust shaped in a circle and tried to push it into a square. Also, the size of each square matters. It needs to be a nice square. Also, I used an apple corer to cut the insides of the apples, but the corer cuts a slightly smaller circle than what was used in the video. My corners were hard to pull to the center. I think most of my issues could have been avoided had I made my own crust.
As for taste - they were good. This recipe is a keeper.
