Caramel Apple Coopers

These dainty pastries flavoured with caramel and topped with a slice of apple are easy to make, but I have to warn you, they are very, very addictive!

Caramel Apple Coopers


Caramel Apple Coopers


It sounds like an old-fashioned English dessert from Victorian times. Well, not exactly. It is my own invention named after my son.

They are super tasty and such a treat.

Easy to make too.

I do love an easy puff pastry dessert. Serve these warm out of the oven on their own or serve warm with ice cream.




Easy Apple Pastries


These caramel apple coopers are the easiest pastries to make.

A fluffy puff pastry case, topped with a type of almond crème patissière, which conceals a gooey dollop of toffee, finished off with a slice of apple and dusted with icing sugar.

The apples slices weigh the pastry down a bit. If you make these without the apple, they rise higher, but personally I like the apple slice on top.

Caramel Apple Coopers
These dainty pastries flavoured with caramel and topped with a slice of apple are easy to make, but I have to warn you, they are very, very addictive!
Ingredients
  • 1 packet puff pastry
  • ½ tin caramel condensed milk
  • 200g philadelphia soft cheese
  • 40g/1½oz caster sugar
  • 25g/1oz ground almonds
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • enough icing sugar to dust pastries
  • 1 red apple, quartered and cut into thins slices
Instructions
1.Take the pastry out of the fridge about 20 minutes before you start.2. Pre-heat the oven to 200c/180c fan/gas mark 6/400f.3. Roll half the pastry out to a square of about 28cm on a floured board.4. Cut out circles with a 8 cm pastry cutter. Be careful not to twist as you remove the cutter. Try for a sharp tap, as they will go a bit awry if they are twisted. Do the same with the rest of the pastry.5. Place the circles on a prepared baking tray, leaving a little room between them.6. Dot a meagre ½ teaspoon of caramel in the centre of each pastry.7. In a bowl mix together the Philadelphia cheese with the sugar and ground almonds.8. In a separate bowl, whisk up the egg and egg yolk then mix into the cheese mixture until well combined.9. Dollop a spoonful of mixture over each pastry, covering the caramel and soothing out, but don't take it quite to the edge.10. Pop in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the pastry starts to turn a little golden.11. Put on a wire rack to cool. Once cool, dust with icing sugar. 12. Say you will just have one, but be prepared to eat at least 4, if not more.

  4. Did Coop have a hand in making them too? I can just imagine how tasty they would be and the slice of apple really finishes them off.
