Apple Puff Pastry Rings

Method

1. To prepare the Apple Puff Pastry Donuts, start by washing and peeling the apples, keeping them whole. Remove the core using an apple corer and cut them horizontally into slices about one centimeter thick.
2. Place the apple slices in a bowl, sprinkle with sugar, drizzle with lemon juice and mix to flavor.
3. Unroll one of the two sheets of puff pastry on your work surface. Arrange the apple slices on top of the pastry, making sure they all fit.
4. Cover with the second sheet of puff pastry, making sure it adheres well to the first sheet. Press down with your hands, especially in the areas between the apple slices.
5. Using a round cookie cutter, cut the pastry around each apple slice. With a smaller cookie cutter, create the donut hole by cutting out the center of each slice.
6. Heat plenty of vegetable oil in a deep-sided pan, and meanwhile carefully seal the edges of all the small donuts.
7. When the oil starts to sizzle, add a few donuts and cook until golden brown, making sure to turn them occasionally for even cooking.
8. Once cooked, remove the donuts from the pan with a slotted spoon and place them on a tray lined with kitchen paper to remove excess oil.
9. When you have cooked all the donuts, let them cool slightly, dust them generously with granulated sugar and serve your Apple Puff Pastry Donuts! Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!
