Directions
Baked Apples in Pastry,I would like to thank BusyMomof3 for this little treasure in Sugar Free Cooking cookbook that she sent me in the recent cookbook swap. TIP – for an extra rich pastry, use 1 egg yolk and half the amount of water in this recipe. VARIATION – Use pears instead of apples in the recipe. FREEZING – These apples freeze well after baking and should be thawed and then re-heated before eating.,Oh wow, this recipe is fantastic! It is a true dream dessert! So easy to make and super yummy! I loved the melted apple filling with the dried fruit bits and the flakey crust on the outside! YUM! I made half the recipe using whole spelt flour and only 1/4 cup margarine in the dough. As I was out of apricots, I just added some almonds to the filling, which I normally put into my baked apples. It turned out really, really yummy and I felt so special eating this. 🙂 THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing such a keeper with us, Pat. This is now on my holiday company is coming food list.Made and reviewed for WTTM November 2011.
