Palmiers, I love palmiers. They seem like they’re hard to put together, but honestly, these were ready in a matter of minutes. The only slightly tricky part is to fold the puff pastry tightly, but really.. you could almost do it with your eyes closed.
This is the second to last apple recipe for this fall.. my bag of apples seems a little morose now… there are only 3 or 4 left and I can’t wait to go and pick more.
Apple and Cinnamon Palmiers
2 sheets of square puff pastry
1 cup of sugar
1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon of kosher
1 apple
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F.
Mix the sugar, salt and cinnamon. Spread 1/2 cup of sugar mixture onto your working area. Place one sheet of puff pastry on top of the sugar. Add another 1/4 cup of the mixture on top and gently press down with the palm of your hand. Using a small brush, brush off excess sugar.
Peel and grate the apple. Tightly press onto a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture. Sprinkle half of the grated apple onto the puff pastry. Lightly press them down with the palm of your hand. Fold 2 sides of the square puff pastry into the middle of the puff pastry surface. Fold the sides towards the middle again to create double-layered folds. Then, fold one of the sides onto the other (as if you were closing a book). Reserve and do the same with the second puff pastry sheet.
Slice the puff pastry into 3/8 inch slices and place cut side up on a parchment-line baking sheet. Bake for 6 minutes, turn the palmiers over, and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until perfectly golden. Let cool on a cooling rack. Enjoy!
Enjoy the read!

October 12, 2009 at 3:14 am (15 years ago)I love palmiers too. Did you know that in Germany they’re called “swine ears”? Not nearly as romantic, but just as good. These little heart shaped crunchies are perfect for a mid-afternoon snack.
What a gorgeous photo!

I think I have some puff pastry and I have extra apples from a tart and a cake I made.
Maybe, just maybe, I can fit this in.

October 12, 2009 at 8:09 pm (15 years ago)Yum! I just baked some palmiers this afternoon – I made them with mulling spices so they’d go with the apple cider I got this weekend! Putting apple IN the palmiers, though…probably even better.

October 12, 2009 at 11:25 pm (15 years ago)Ugg! I wan’t one right now! If you have any trouble getting rid of these (or any other dessert) let me know… they call me “the cleaner”.
Ps. I can’t belive you still have apples left after all these beautiful recipes!

I have some home-made puff pastry in the freezer from Daring Bakers challenge…perhaps that’s what I should do with them.

October 21, 2009 at 4:12 pm (15 years ago)I love the idea of pressing apple into the dough. You can’t really see it so I would think it was a regular palmier but surprise, it’s not. =)
