Welcome autumn, with your cooler days, candlelight evenings, cups of tea and great books, and not to mention some good eating and great baking! 
That's what I love about autumn, that and the colors in the nature that leave me in awe. 
And let's not forget the harvest time, stores filled with fresh produce and many temptations in form of fruits and veggies. 

Since the website feed will tell you how much I love apple desserts, I'm not going to get more into the fantastic flavor combinations you can create with apples. But instead, I am going to share with you a simple, and a rather easy way to make  an apple pastry that will blow you away. With step by step pictures to follow.

1. Puff pastry, you can make it your own, or you can buy it ready made from the grocery store freezer aisle. Since I promised 'easy' I am going to demonstrate with the ready made dough, cut in squares. Let it defrost about half way before starting the process. And the 'process' is rather quick, so this can be done 'to order' as needed.

3. Assemble peeled and cored thin apple slices on top of the puff pastry squares. Drizzle with cinnamon and sugar. Bake in the oven 180 C / 350 F until golden brown (about 25 minutes)

2. In a pan, melt butter, about 1 TBLS per pastry. Add 2 tsp of brown sugar and 0,5 tsp of cinnamon. Mix it all together until a manageable paste. Spread the paste on the puff pastry squares.

4. Let the pastry cool off for few minutes. Mix powdered sugar with drops of water and drizzle on top of the pastry if desired. Or you can dust the pastries with powdered sugar. Enjoy in good company

One of my favorites is the baked apples with vanilla sauce. They are rustic, filled with flavor and the aroma is unbelievable.

1. Cored and peeled apples set in an oven pan. Mixed 0,5 cup melted butter, 0,25 cup brown sugar, 0,25 cup flour, 0,25 cup oatmeal, 1 tsp cinnamon together until smooth dough. Fill the apples overflowing with the filling.

3. Carefully move the baked apples to the plate. Add vanilla sauce, ice cream or eat as it is.

2. Bake in the oven 180 C / 350 F for about an hour.

Last year I made an apple crumble that tastes just like it used to way back when, so I am going to stick with that one for now, just click on the name to get the post from last December. 
Well, what do you think, will it be some apple desserts this weekend? I hope you will enjoy them as much as I did. Till the next time
~ Cheers!
