Wensleydale cheese and apple puffs
Light puffs of air with a wonderful apple filling.
What you need
- 2 small cooking apples, cored and sliced
- 175 g wensleydale cheese, grated
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 6 tsp demerara sugar
- 450 g puff pastry
- 45-60 ml lemon curd
- 1 egg, beaten
- 300 ml double cream, whipped
Method
Cook the apple with 1-2 tablespoons of water until pulpy.
Remove from the heat. Stir in the cheese, cinnamon and half the sugar. Leave to cool.
Roll out the pastry to 2 rectangles 30 x 20 cm each. Cut into 12 x 10cm squares. Spread a little lemon curd over each then spoon the apple mixture on top, leaving a border around each edge. Brush the edges with egg. Fold the pastry over to make triangles. Press down the edges to seal, then knock up with the back of a knife. Place on a baking sheet. Chill for 30 min.
Preheat oven to 200°C.
Brush each puff with the beaten egg. Sprinkle remaining sugar over. Make a small slit in the centre of each, to allow the air to escape. Bake for 25-30 min or until well-risen and golden brown.
Cool on a wire rack. Carefully slit open each puff along the edges and fill with whipped cream.
