Directions:Place flour and salt in stand mixer, blend for 30 seconds. Add diced butter, blend with flour on low speed until butter and flour "crumbly blended" (pea sized chunks), with mixer still running on low, gradually start adding water. As mixture begins to form a ball, increase mixer speed one notch. Continue mixing until all flour incorporated into ball. Do not over mix! Once ball completely formed, turn off mixer and place dough into a plastic zip lock bag, or wrap in plastic wrap. Place in refrigerator for one hour or until ready to use. Can be stored in refrigerator for 2 days or frozen up to 1 month.
Mix diced apples with cinnamon and organic sugar to taste (approx 3-4 tbsp) right before you are ready to bake. Apples will turn brown if mixture prepared too early.
Heat oven to 350º.
Flour dust a pastry sheet and rolling pin. Place 1/2 pasty dough on sheet and begin rolling until dough is approx 1/8 inch thick. Cut 5 inch sized circles into dough, fill with 2-3 Tbsp of apple filling, fold dough over to form half circle, tightly pinch edges together. Place on cookie sheet covered with parchment paper. Cover with flour sack towel to avoid drying out while other pasties being made. Repeat process. Remove flour sack towel. Brush pasties with beaten egg, sprinkle organic cane sugar on pasties. Bake for approx 45 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven. Let cool for 1 hr. Dust with confectioners sugar just before serving |
