Save yourself a trip to the bakery and whip up these simple and delicious 3-ingredient apple Danishes at home. The pastry parcels can be enjoyed warm or cold, as dessert, or as an anytime-of-the-day treat.
Ingredients
- 2 apples cored cored peeled quartered
- 1/3 cup raw caster sugar, plus extra for dusing
- 2 sheets Woolworths Puff Pastry
Method
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 220C (200C fan-forced).
-
Step 2Peel, core and quarter apples. Place in a medium saucepan with a splash of water. Cover and cook over medium heat for 4 minutes or until apples have softened slightly. Remove from heat and stir through sugar. Set aside to cool.

Step 3Cut each pastry sheet in half, then each half into three even rectangles. Brush the border of one rectangle with water. Top with a big spoonful of cooked apple. Take another pastry rectangle and cut a few slits across it, being careful not to cut all the way across. Place this piece over the apple, pressing the two pieces of pastry together firmly around all of the edges.

Step 4Repeat with remaining ingredients until you have six parcels, then place them on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Sprinkle the tops with extra sugar. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until puffed and golden.
Recipe Notes

For an even more golden pastry finish, you could brush the uncooked parcels with a little beaten egg before sprinkling on the extra sugar.
