Quick and Easy Apple Cinnamon Pastry Recipe: A Forgotten Classic from the 1960s
In just 10 minutes, you can create a delicious treat reminiscent of the simple, wholesome baking traditions of the 1960s. This easy apple cinnamon pastry is inspired by a beloved recipe passed down from my great-grandmother. Itβs a perfect blend of cottage cheese and apples wrapped in a tender, homemade dough.
Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 200g cottage cheese
- 1 egg
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 50ml vegetable oil
- 10g vanilla sugar
- 200g flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
For the Filling:
- 500g apples, diced
- 1 tbsp butter
- Cinnamon, to taste
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
For the Topping:
- 20g butter
- 2 tbsp sugar
- Cinnamon, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg, salt, sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla sugar. Once smooth, gradually fold in the flour and baking powder until a soft dough forms.
- Prepare the Filling: In a saucepan, cook the diced apples with butter, cinnamon, and cornstarch over medium heat until tender and aromatic.
- Assemble the Pastry: Roll out the dough to your desired thickness. Spread the apple filling evenly across the dough, then fold or roll the dough to enclose the filling.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 170Β°C (340Β°F). Place the pastry on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Finishing Touch: While the pastry is still warm, brush it with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon for a sweet, flavorful finish.
