- apples- I have used Granny Smiths this time, but it works equally as well with Pink Lady or Royal Gala apples. Apples are one of our favourite fruits to use in cooking because they are so versatile- whether you use them in Sweet Potato and Apple Fritters, or Pork, Apple and Veggie Sausage Rolls!
- puff pastry- I have used storebought puff pastry for these, if you would prefer to make your own, check out the FAQs for a good recipe.
- vanilla paste- is better and stronger flavoured than vanilla extract. I use it for everything. If you prefer, you can switch it for vanilla extract.

I don't think the temp is correct for conventional oven! Flop raw after 20 min. Googled and upped to 375-400
Kylie says
Hi Donna, it literally says 395 F in the recipe. Or 200 degrees celsius.
I'm not sure what temp you were cooking at.
Thanks!
Dawn says
I love the idea of this but how is it only 70 cal per serving??? Apples have 80 calories and there are two so that is 40 calories per serving alone. All the puff pastries I have found have a minimum of 150 calories per serving with 6 servings per sheet. I just don’t understand the math. Or perhaps someone found a puff pasty with no calories?
Kylie says
Hi Dawn, the Puff pastry I used in this recipe is only 110 calories per sheet, if that helps, and the sheet actually according to the manufacturer is 3.2 servings. I use a nutritional calculator to work out the nutritional information and it is accurate to the products I have used, but obviously you need to adapt that to the products available to you. I also weighed the grated apple and it came up a lot less than a whole apple, because you remove the core, and with grating a lot of the juice runs out. I don't know if that helps?
