Nothing beats freshly baked puff pastry packed full of caramelised apples. Caution: contents will be hot &#8211; avoid the classic McDonald&#8217;s mistake of biting into one when just out of the oven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:24px\">These are perfectly crisp puff pastry parcels of goodness. Apples are caramelised before wrapping in puff pastry, topped with a little sugar and baked. Whilst apples do take a little time to soften to the perfect point, you want to stay patient with it to avoid undercooked apples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/tasting-thyme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_3802_jpg-scaled.jpg?fit=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Copycat McDonald's Apple Pies\" class=\"wp-image-666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tasting-thyme.com\/staging\/6788\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_3802_jpg-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/tasting-thyme.com\/staging\/6788\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_3802_jpg-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/tasting-thyme.com\/staging\/6788\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_3802_jpg-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tasting-thyme.com\/staging\/6788\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_3802_jpg-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/tasting-thyme.com\/staging\/6788\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_3802_jpg-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:24px\">You could easily half\/double the recipe if you are looking to feed more or fewer people. These are great for a make-ahead breakfast\/snack that you can grab and go with. These could also easily be freezed. As with any pastry, if you&#8217;re re-heating these, try to do so in the oven as opposed to the microwave to avoid them going soggy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:24px\">As with any puff pastry recipe, the key to a perfect bake is keeping the pastry cold until ready to bake, then going directly into a very hot oven. If you want to play with the filling, you could sub other fruits\/add berries &#8211; just beware that you may need to add cornstarch to make up for the extra liquid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:24px\">For other pastry based treats, check out this <a href=\"https:\/\/tasting-thyme.com\/staging\/6788\/salted-caramel-and-chocolate-tart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">4 Ingredient Salted Caramel and Chocolate Tart<\/a> or these <a href=\"https:\/\/tasting-thyme.com\/staging\/6788\/easy-chocolate-twists-copycat-costa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Easy Chocolate Twists<\/a>.

Line 2 large baking trays.<\/li><li>Add the chopped apples and brown sugar to a large pan. Over a med\/high heat, keep stirring and adding a little water at a time to prevent crisp edges from forming. Keep cooking and stirring until apples are totally soft and golden brown (about 15-20 minutes). <\/li><li>Once the apples are cooked, turn off the heat. Cut the pastry in half (leaving the other half in the fridge). Roll this out to a large rectangle, approx 10&#215;12&#8243; and about 1\/4&#8243; thick. Cut out 8 equal rectangles, and add apples (reserving half the mixture for the remaining pastry) to 4 of the pastry rectangles &#8211; leaving room at the edges.<\/li><li>Take the remaining pastry rectangles, roll out a little more and place over the top of the apple topped pastry. Press edges down with a fork and diagonally score the top with a knife. You should have 4 little parcels.<\/li><li>Optional: Brush the tops of the pastry with milk for a more golden pastry.<\/li><li>Sprinkle over extra sugar and bake for 18-22 minutes &#8211; until golden. <\/li><li>Whilst those are baking, repeat with the other half of the pastry and apples. <\/li><li>Once golden brown, remove from oven and cool on a wire rack. Eat whilst still warm (perfect with ice cream).<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tasting-thyme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_3802_jpg-1-scaled.jpg?fit=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Copycat McDonald's Apple Pies\" class=\"wp-image-668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tasting-thyme.com\/staging\/6788\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_3802_jpg-1-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/tasting-thyme.com\/staging\/6788\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_3802_jpg-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/tasting-thyme.com\/staging\/6788\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_3802_jpg-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tasting-thyme.com\/staging\/6788\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_3802_jpg-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/tasting-thyme.com\/staging\/6788\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_3802_jpg-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3 ingredients and a short bake time are all that stand in the way between you and having a piping hot batch of Copycat McDonald&#8217;s Apple Pies in your kitchen.
