- Arrange 4 wedges on a plate lined with baking paper, then brush the center of each wedge with apricot jam and cover with the apple cubes, taking care to leave about half a cm from the edge.
The right alternative
Those who wish can replace the jam with custard. Apples can also be substituted for pears.- Dedicate yourself to the preparation of the cover triangles. On each of the 4 remaining triangles, make 2-3 cm long alternating cuts, following imaginary parallel lines so that, by opening the dough, a sort of grid is created.
- Arrange the puff pastry grid on top of the filling, sealing the edges very well.
- Brush the surface with water, sprinkle with sugar to taste and bake in a preheated oven at 190 ° C (static) for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

I have proposed you some triangular puff pastries, a little unusual! If you don't like the shape, you can still make rectangular or square puff pastries; to speed up the preparation, you can avoid closing them with the pastry in short, the combinations and possibilities are truly countless: it's up to you to choose your favorite flavor!Nutritional values and Health Comment on the recipe
