### Ingredients for Apple and Cinnamon Slippers
To make these delightful Apple and Cinnamon Slippers, you’ll need just a handful of simple ingredients:
– 2 medium-sized **apples** (Granny Smith or Fuji work well)
– 1 tablespoon **butter**
– 1/4 cup **brown sugar** (or adjust to your sweetness preference)
– 1 teaspoon **cinnamon**
– 1/4 teaspoon **nutmeg** (optional)
– 1 tablespoon **lemon juice** (to prevent browning and add a touch of tartness)
– 1 sheet of **puff pastry** (store-bought or homemade)
– 1 tablespoon **egg wash** (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water or milk)
– **Powdered sugar** for dusting (optional)
### How to Make Apple and Cinnamon Slippers
#### Step 2: Cook the Apple Filling
In a medium-sized pan, melt the **butter** over medium heat. Add the diced apples, **brown sugar**, **cinnamon**, and **nutmeg** (if using). Stir to coat the apples with the sugar and spices. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples start to soften and caramelize slightly. Add **lemon juice** and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes. Once the apples are tender and the mixture is syrupy, remove the pan from the heat and allow the filling to cool for a few minutes.
#### Step 3: Prepare the Puff Pastry
While the apple mixture is cooling, roll out the **puff pastry** on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into squares or circles, depending on the shape you prefer for your slippers. If you’re using squares, aim for 4×4-inch pieces.
#### Step 4: Fill the Pastry
Place a generous spoonful of the apple-cinnamon filling in the center of each pastry square or circle. Be careful not to overfill, as it could cause the pastry to burst during baking.
Step 5: Shape the Slippers
For square pieces of pastry, fold the corners of the square toward the center to form a slipper-like shape. Pinch the edges together to seal, ensuring the filling doesn’t spill out during baking. If you’re using circles, fold them in half to form half-moon shapes, pressing the edges together with a fork to seal them.
