Food Pleasures

This is a little twist of the traditional apple turnover. It is very quick to put together and tastes like heaven on earth. The wonderful aroma from the butter, apples and cinnamon infused in this recipe is enough to take me astray from my low calorie diet. But it's ok I guess since we're all allowed a cheat day or two *winks*.

1 package frozen puff pastry (thawed and rolled out according to box directions)*
1 apple (you may use any type of apple; I used Pinata)
2 tbsp butter (melted)**
cinnamon powder
sugar
maple syrup



1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2) After you have thawed out the puff pastry and rolled it out as per the box directions, cut it into four portions. Cut the fourth portion into strips for decoration. Arrange the three portions on a lightly greased baking sheet.
3) Core and slice your apple into thin slices.
4) Fan out the sliced apple onto the three portions of puff pastry. Decorate as you wish with the strips of pastry you have cut out earlier.
5) Sprinkle melted butter, sugar and cinnamon powder liberally all over the pastry. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes.
6) Drizzle some maple syrup on the pastry and serve.

*I used the Tenderflake 379g Puff Pastry
**I cheated and used the butter flavoured cooking spray instead.
