About the bake
These yummy pastry delights are the perfect way to finish a delicious meal. Drizzle with cream and custard, serve with ice cream or simply eat on their own straight from the oven with a cup of tea.
Method
Step 1
In a large saucepan, place the chopped apples, blackberries, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla bean paste. Heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes until the apples become soft.
Step 2
Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 220°C (fan 200°C, gas mark 7).
Step 4
Roll out two sheets of the puff pastry on to a lightly floured surface and quarter – forming four evenly sliced squares of pastry.
Step 5
Spoon a few tablespoons of the fruit mixture into the centre of the square and then fold over to form a triangle.
Step 6
Crimp the seals with a fork to help keep the shape when baking and reduce the filling spilling out.
Step 7
With a knife create a few small vents in the top to allow the steam to be released.
Step 8
Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Brush lightly with milk or beaten egg to glaze.
Step 9
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 10
To serve, dust with icing sugar or a drizzle of custard.
