Apple Streusel Pie
Not much is better than homeade Apple Pie. For any event, this recipe always seems to come out on top for its gooey filling and crumbly top.
When we have fresh, local, tart apples, we like to simply plop them down on buttery puff pastry, bake, and serve with good caramel sauce and ice cream. The variations are endless. Recipe by Whitney Reist of Sweet Cayenne.
Note from Whitney: To make 12 tartlets, use the entire package of puff pastry and multiply other ingredients. You will likely need 2 whole apples.
Ingredients
- 1 package puff pastry dough, such as Wewalka brand
- 1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
- 1/2 medium apple, such as Granny Smith, Fuji, or Honeycrisp
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- salted caramel sauce, such as Cocorico French Cuisine, heated
- vanilla ice cream
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 425F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cut a 4" square from puff pastry sheet. Gently stretch it out a bit with fingers. Brush with egg mixture.
3. Slice apple into thin wedges about 1/8" thick. Place on puff pastry, leaving a 1/2" border.
4. Combine sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle on top of apples.
5. Bake 18-20 minutes until crisp and golden brown. Serve with drizzle of warm caramel sauce and a scoop of ice cream.
