By pattie_d

Ingredients

• 2 large Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored and sliced 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 1 cup raisins
• 1/4 cup sugar, plus 3 tablespoons
• 2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces, plus 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• All-purpose flour, for dusting
• 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.

In a medium bowl, toss the sliced apples with the lemon juice until the apples are thoroughly coated. Add the raisins, 1/4 cup sugar, and the 2 tablespoons cold cubed butter and toss well. Set aside.

Lightly dust the counter or work surface with flour. Lay the puff pastry on top and dust the rolling pin with additional flour. Gently roll the puff pastry to 1/8-inch thickness.

Spread the apple and raisin mixture over the bottom half of the puff pastry square leaving about 1-inch of space along the side edges. Fold the top half of the puff pastry over and pinch to seal the edges together.
