Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 425F/220C/200C fan/Gas Mark 7. Use
a little of the melted butter to grease 8 holes of a 12-hole muffin
tray. Place a baking sheet in the oven to heat up (this helps to
ensure a crisp pastry base).
2. Spiralise the apples into sheets using Zyliss SmoothSlizer
sheet blade. Cut all the sheets in half widthways so you have
lots of long thin strips of apple. Drizzle with the lemon juice.
3. Unroll one pastry sheet, keeping it on the paper. Using a
rolling pin, roll the pastry a little thinner to make a 38 x 24cm
sheet. Cut into 4 long strips each about 6cm wide. Brush each
strip with some of the apricot glaze.
4. Lay some of the apple slices, overlapping, along the top
edge of one strip of pastry. Don't worry if some of the slices
break. Fold up the bottom half of the pastry to just cover the
lower edges of the apple slices. Press down gently then roll up
tightly from one side to make a 'muffin-shaped' pastry. Gently
ease the pastry into one greased muffin hole.
5. Repeat to make 3 more pastries then unroll the second
pastry sheet and make another 4 pastries. Brush the tops with
the rest of the melted butter. Place the muffin tray on the hot
baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes
until the pastry is crisp and golden. If the apples start to over-
brown before the pastry is cooked just cover the tops loosely
with foil.
6. Use the tip of a palette knife to gently ease the pastries out
of the muffin tray. Transfer to a wire rack. Cool for 5 minutes.
Mix together the icing sugar and cinnamon and sift over the
pastries. Serve warm or cold with cream or crème fraiche,
if liked.
