Can you make one big square in a sheet pan bake and then cut into individual pieces? -
How long do they last I want to make them for the next day

Can you use gala apples -
Maybe I'm missing something but if you cut the sheet of pastry into 9 and use 2 per individual pie...what do you do with the 9th piece of pastry? -
Going to make these today. Could 1/2 tsp lime juice be subbed in instead of lemon juice? Forgot to buy lemons. Thanks!

We have made this several times now, and the results are really yummy. The frozen puff pastry I bought recommends baking at 400 and not 350. For me, cooking at 350 for 20 minutes yielded a less puffy and anemic sort of looking pastry much like some of the pastries pictured up to the left. When cooked at 400 for 25 minutes, the pastries rocked!!! Thanks for sharing such a simple and tasty recipe!!! -
These were really good, I think next time I will add a little bit of raw sugar on the tops -
I cooked the apples in the saucepan with all the other ingredients to soften them up first for about 5 minutes. Threw in some blueberries and dried cranberries as well. Delicious with custard. The puff pastry would be better if you sprinkle some sugar on it first. -
I have made these a few times now and they are really good and easy to make. I would reduce the nutmeg to 1/4 tsp. as suggested by others, the nutmeg does overpower it a bit. I also suggest to mix just the lemon juice and apple and not mix the dry ingredients until you are ready to put onto the pastry, this will eliminate excess juice which will make it difficult to seal the pastry. I also make these into only four and shape them into triangles. Once sealed I brush the outside with egg and sprinkle raw sugar onto it. DELICIOUS! -

These are beautiful and yummy! ?? I made vanilla cream cheese filling (whipped cream cheese, vanilla, lemon zest and sugar to taste. I didn't add much sugar.), then plopped the apple filling on that, fork-seal crimped the edges and egg washed. I then set them in the freezer for 10 min. then straight to the oven until it was browned to my liking. I drizzled them with an easy lemon juice and powdered sugar frosting in zig zags over the tops once they were completely cooled, then set. Delicious! Thank you for the fun idea! :)

I made these this afternoon and oh boy does the house smell good. I doubled the recipe. Because I don't often eat eggs, I used some hazelnut soy cream in place of the egg wash and that really added to the flavor. I think I'll definitely be making these again. Thanks for a really simple and delicious recipe. :-)
