Ingredients for 1 servings:
- 3 apples, approx.
- ½ lemon(s), juice
- 200 g puff pastry, frozen, approx. 2 – 3 slices
- 100 ml gin
- 100 g sugar, approx.
- 10 g vanilla sugar, preferably homemade
- 12 juniper berries, dried, approx.
- 50 g butter
Instructions
Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 50 minutes
quickly made with puff pastry
Quarter the apples, peel, core, and score the tops of each quarter lengthwise several times. Mix well in a bowl with the lemon juice. Defrost the puff pastry and preheat the oven to 180-200°C (top/bottom heat). Place the gin, sugar, vanilla sugar, and juniper berries in a tart tin or ovenproof frying pan with a diameter of approximately 20 cm on the stovetop over medium heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the sugar dissolves. Add the butter and let it melt. Then place the apple quarters, round side down, close together in the tin and simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove the tin from the stovetop. Roll out the puff pastry slightly, forming a circle with a diameter slightly larger than the tin if possible, and use it to cover the apples. Press down any excess pastry at the edges, e.g. with a knife, and pierce the edges several times with a sharp knife to allow the steam to escape during baking. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20-30 minutes, until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy. Allow to cool slightly, loosen from the sides of the pan if necessary, and turn out onto a platter or plate. Serve warm or cooled, for example, with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or crème fraîche.
