If you’re a fan of McDonald’s apple pie, you’ll absolutely adore these McDonald’s Copycat Apple Pies! These delightful hot apple pies are incredibly easy to make, ensuring you can satisfy your craving in just minutes.
Here’s how to make them:
Ingredients:
– 1 package of puff pastry
– 3 large apples
– 75 grams brown sugar
– 30 grams unsalted butter
– 1 teaspoon cinnamon
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– Juice of 1/2 lemon
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– A bit of water
To Finish:
– 1 teaspoon cinnamon
– 2 teaspoons sugar
– 1 egg for an egg wash
Directions:
1. Start with the essential filling. It’s the heart of these pies and sets the sweet balance. Heat the butter in a pan, add chopped apples, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix and simmer until the apples soften, about 10 minutes. While the apples cook, combine the cornstarch with a little water. Once the apples are soft, add this mixture to thicken the filling. Remove it from the heat and transfer it to a bowl.
2. As the filling cools, lay out the puff pastry on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Divide it into 10 identical rectangles. Brush the edges of each rectangle with an egg wash, and spread the apple filling on one half of each. Fold each pie over and seal the edges with a fork. Finally, brush each pie with egg and sprinkle them with cinnamon sugar.
3. Preheat your oven to 200°C and bake the pies for about 20 minutes until they turn golden brown. Serve them while they’re warm for the best experience! Enjoy!
