As you are all aware, I’m mainly a cake maker and decorator but I do like to try and bake something a little different. My husband loves apple pies or crumbles so I thought I would scour the internet to find a apple dessert of some sort.
I came across this lovely (and easy) recipe called ‘Puff Pastry Apple Pies’ by Chef Fifi on http://www.food.com
So I thought I’d give it a go.. whats to loose?
I was so surprised at how brilliant this recipe is, I thought I would share. I changed the amounts slightly but the outcome just as good.
