Ingredients
2 british Bramley apples (or any apple, just adjust sugar to taste) peeled and cored
½-1 tbsp golden caster sugar
½ tbsp water
100g raspberries
1x pack of ready rolled puff pastry (320-375g), plus a little flour or icing sugar for dusting the worktop
1 tbsp vanilla bean paste
2 tbsp golden caster sugar
1 free range egg
1-2tbsp Demerara sugar
175ml double cream
1tsp icing sugar
1 tbsp Chambord (optional)
Method
Preheat the oven to 190°C
Chop the peeled and cored apples into 1cm cubes and put in a small pan with 1/2tbsp golden caster sugar and ½ tbsp of cold water
Heat over a medium heat for around 4-5mins until the apple begins to soften, stir in the raspberries and allow to cool
Put the vanilla bean paste into ramekin. Lay out the pastry sheet on a lightly floured worktop and brush all over with a thin smear of vanilla bean paste and then sprinkle with golden caster sugar
Fold the pastry in half and re-roll to a rectangle the same size as the one you began with and repeat the brushing and sprinkling
Fold the pastry in half again and this time roll out into a square about 30cmx30cmCut this into 9 squares
Now crack your egg into the vanilla paste ramekin and lightly beat (so that you have vanilla-y egg for glazing)
Put a dessert spoon(ish) of fruit onto one half of each square leaving a border around the edge
Brush round the edge of each square with the beaten egg, fold each in half over the fruit to create your triangular puff and seal around the edges with a fork
Use a sharp knife to make a deep 1cm hole for steam to escape (and to pipe the cream into)
Pop onto a lined tray and brush with egg then sprinkle with Demerara sugar
Put it into the oven and bake for around 20mins until golden, then remove to a cooling rack to cool completely
Now whisk the cream and icing sugar together by hand until softly whipped and then use a spatula to fold in the Chambord
Fill a piping bag with the cream, snip off the top and pipe the cream into the steam hole of the cooled puffs… and enjoy!
