- 2 tbsp. butter (unsalted)
- 2 apples (peeled, cored, and chopped)
- 1/4 c. packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/2 lemon lemon juice
- all-purpose flour (for surface)
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
- 1 egg (lightly beaten)
- cinnamon sugar
Preheat oven to 400° and line a large baking sheet with parchment. In a medium pot over medium heat, melt butter.
Combine the apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice into the mixture. Heat until it reaches a gentle simmer, continuing to cook until the apples become tender and the majority of the liquid has evaporated, approximately 8 minutes. Allow to cool afterwards.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll puff pastry out to a 12” square. Divide into 8 rectangles.
Distribute the apple filling evenly onto the center of four pastry rectangles, ensuring to leave a margin of about a quarter inch around the edges of the puff pastry. Cover with the remaining pastry rectangles and seal the edges by pressing them together with the tines of a fork. Use a sharp knife or kitchen scissors to make four cuts on the top of each pie.
- In a small bowl, whisk egg with 1 tablespoon cold water to create an egg wash. Brush onto pies. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
- Place pies onto prepared pan and bake until golden, 25 minutes.
You can also do this in the air fryer instead of an oven. It’s next on my list to do, because I love everything in an air fryer. lol.
I love McDonald’s apple pie! The crunchy outside with the warm and sweet apple inside.. Super easy to make too.
