Apple Hand Pies

If you like it super quick use puff pastry from the supermarket. If you look closely you`ll find good produced puff pastry products. Do you want to use that: follow the instruction below.Sometimes I wonder how many are strongly opposed to finished products. There is now a wide selection of good products with very good ingredients. In primarily I love it to produce the things themselves. But every now and then when the time or the muse is missing, I use produced puff pastry. For a homemade puff pastry, I recommend this recipe from Izzy
For the filling you can also add nutmeg or vanilla.
