Ingredients

• 250 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 200 grams Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 120 milliliters Cold water
• 2 Apple, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 Egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, and salt.

Step 2

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, mix until the butter is pea-sized and the mixture is crumbly.

Step 3

Gradually add cold water, stirring with a fork, until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4

Shape the dough into a flat disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

While the dough is chilling, prepare the apple filling. In a medium bowl, combine sliced apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the apples.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7

After chilling, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle approximately 1/4-inch thick.

Step 8

Place the apple mixture on one half of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges, and fold the other half over the filling.

Step 9

Seal the edges by pressing with a fork and make a few slits on top for steam to escape.

Step 10

Brush the pastry with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step 11

Transfer the assembled puff pastry to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender.

Step 13

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free apple puff pastry!
