Pecan Apple Bake for Two

Joel Lafond, Executive Chef with the Shaarey Zedek Synagogue Catering Department

 

This recipe is a variation on apple "pie" that I learned from a friend who is now a chef at a
prestigious ski resort in New Zealand. It is a simple recipe that can be made even if you
forgot about dessert. You can also use your favourite caramel sauce instead of butter and brown sugar.

 

Yield: 2 portions

 

Ingredients

2

Granny Smith Apples, peeled and sliced

30 ml (2 tbsp)

Hard Butter

15 ml (1 tbsp)

Brown Sugar

5 ml (1 tsp)

Cinnamon

15 ml (1 tbsp)

Pecans, toasted and roughly chopped

1

Sheet of Puff Pastry

 

Method

Peel, core and slice 2 Granny Smith apples and put in a bowl. (Add a little lemon juice if they will sit for too long.) Mix thoroughly with the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and pecans. Grease the inside of a 23-cm (9-inch) pie plate with some butter and lay out the apple mixture. Using a smaller plate, cut out a piece of puff pastry that will cover the apples on the plate. Egg wash the inner rim of the plate where the puff pastry will go and place the puff pastry over top. Egg wash the puff pastry and make a slit in the dough. Bake at 175º C (350º F) for about 10 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown. Serve with your favourite vanilla ice cream. This recipe can be held and baked just as you need it, even after the main course while you relax, have a drink and wait for dessert to be served.
