We love to cook and eat and always come up with some sort of a new recipe. Time always seems to be short so we go for quick, healthy, and yummy fixings.

Apple pastries (pateuri cu mere)

I love pastries! And I especially love that I don't have to make the dough from scratch! Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Sheets are just perfect! While this is a desert recipe, keep in mind that you can get as creative as you want with these,: change up the filling (for a different desert) or just turn them into appetizers altogether with a spinach and (soy or cow) cheese, ground meat filling, or anything your heart desires!

Ingredients:
-1 package Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Sheets
(2 sheets)
-5-6 medium freshly grated apples
-1/2 cup raisins
-1 tsp vanilla essence
-1/3 cup margarine (or butter if you prefer)
-1/2 cup dark brown sugar
-1 lightly beaten egg (or egg beaters)

Preparation:
Follow thawing instructions for the pastry sheets. Cook grated apples in margarine and brown sugar on medium heat until soft (about 10 mins or less), then add raisins and vanilla, mix well and set to cool.  Preheat oven to 400F.
On a lightly floured surface roll out the pastry sheets. Brush the sheet with the egg wash and gently spread the apple mixture  to cover the whole surface of the sheet. Carefully roll the sheet and cut 1/2-1 in slices. Place slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 30 mins or so until the pastries are flaky and golden.
