Puff pastry has always been and remains an affordable and very easy-to-use semi-finished product from the "magic wand" category. It saves many housewives in moments when you need to cook something tasty for tea in a short period of time. And if you suddenly had exactly that very moment, and there was a supply of puff pastry in the house, and even some fruits or berries, then you can quickly and easily find a solution. For example, making a closed puff pie with apples and currants from ready-made dough will not be difficult.
For these types of pies (with a sweet filling), you can use either yeast-free or yeast-free puff pastry. But before you start cooking the pie, do not forget to defrost it and wait for it to rise (if using yeast). Then it will take a little longer to bake pastries. Instead of apples, you can use peaches or apricots, pears or nectarine. Also put any berries (frozen or fresh) (raspberries or cherries, cherries or strawberries), so long as they are combined with fruits.
First of all, turn on the oven and set the heating temperature to 190 (200) ° C. Cut off a third of the whole piece of dough and set it aside for now, covering it with a napkin (so as not to wind).
Wash the apples, remove the seeds and cut them into thin slices (no thicker than 3 mm).
Roll a large piece of dough right on oiled parchment into a thin layer and transfer it to a baking sheet, place apple slices on it in any order convenient for you.
Scatter currant berries on top, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
Roll out the remaining piece of dough and cover the filling with it, fastening the edges tightly. Decorate the cake with dough pieces, lightly greasing them with vegetable oil (to better adhere to the surface of the cake). Here you can feel free to feel like an abstract artist.
Send a baking sheet with a pie preparation to the oven for half an hour. Until you set the table and brew the tea, your sweet puff pastry apple pie is ready.
If possible, let it cool a little (or better completely) and only then cut into pieces and start drinking tea.
Bon Appetit!

Remember those famous puff pastry pies with apples that were sold in the school cafeteria for a penny in our childhood? I remember this delicate, juicy taste and sticky palms, the crumbly dough just melted in my mouth, and my mother was never able to make the same delicious food - either the ovens were different, or the apples!
Rejoice, today I will introduce you to a real, "the same" very tasty puff pie with apples and cinnamon, the recipe for which I got from a friend who lived in Serbia at one time and learned how to cook the most famous pastries there from the simplest ready-made store or own dough cooking.
Having tried a piece of such a product, you will immediately remember everything - even what seemed to be irretrievably forgotten.
Did you know? Classic apple pies are divided into two groups: some are made from yeast puff pastry, others from yeast-free dough. Both options are equally good, however, I personally prefer the dough without yeast, as I love it when the filling in the pie is more than sweet bread.
Prepare the utensils and utensils required to make the apple puff pastry pie:
Important! If you decide to cook apple pie according to this recipe from ready-made (store-bought) puff yeast or yeast-free dough, remove it from the refrigerator a couple of hours before cooking so that it can completely melt. As a last resort, place the batter on a towel and place it on a hot radiator or use the microwave to defrost.
Do you like a richer filling? Then add raisins or other fruits (just not too sweet) steamed in hot water to the apples - pears, plums, cherries or peaches, but only in a very small amount so as not to overpower the taste of the juicy apple mass.
Did you know? Lemon juice is needed to keep the apples from darkening prematurely, so don't ignore this step. If you still do not have a spoonful of juice available, do all the manipulations with the apples just before collecting the pie.
Made! I am sure that your amazing cake has already attracted home-made sweet teeth to the kitchen, who require a bite to try. You can easily satisfy such a desire, since the product is easily divided into parts thanks to the prudent incisions.
There is no need to decorate such a beautiful cake, except perhaps sprinkle it with a small amount of powdered sugar, but even my little daughter said that it was useless - the baked goods are so fragile and delicate that even sugar dust can ruin the air structure.
Pay attention to the video, which shows how to properly collect and bake a puff pastry apple pie according to our recipe.
