• Puff pastry - it can be cooked on your own, but most women prefer to purchase already frozen dough. It can be yeast or yeast-free.
• Apples - any variety will do. But it is best recommended to use varieties of sweet and sour apples. But if you take solid varieties, they must first be caramelized with sugar and cinnamon. From this they will become softer. If you do not want to use the peel, then cut it off and you will have a soft uniform filling.
Caramelization process: melt butter in a well heated pan, add apples and stir well, fry for about two minutes. Then sprinkle everything with sugar and stir fry for another two minutes. After the apples have cooled, they can be used for their intended purpose.
