Apple Cinnamon Pastries

Apple Cinnamon Pastries are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that will satisfy your sweet tooth. These pastries are made with a flaky pastry crust, filled with a sweet and spicy apple cinnamon filling, and baked to perfection. This recipe is perfect for any occasion, whether it's a family gathering or a special event.

To make Apple Cinnamon Pastries, you will need the following ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 2 cups apples, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tbsp milk

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the cold water and mix until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a circle.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well. Spoon the apple mixture onto each pastry circle, leaving a small border around the edges. Fold the edges of the pastry over the filling, creating a rustic, free-form shape.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Brush the egg wash over the pastry crusts. Bake the pastries for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
These Apple Cinnamon Pastries are a perfect combination of sweet and spicy flavors. The pastry crust is flaky and buttery, while the apple cinnamon filling is warm and comforting. These pastries are best served warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
