4 Dessert apples
2 oz Brown sugar
2 oz Raisins
Cinnamon to taste
1 Beaten egg
1/2 pt Cream, whipped
1 pk Puff pastry (12 oz)
(Inspired by James Joyce's "Ulysses")
Preheat the oven to 400 F. Peel and core the apples. Stuff the
centers with a mixture of brown sugar, raisins and cinnamon. Roll
out the pastry and cut out 4 circles approximately 8" in diameter,
depending on the size of the apples. Place an apple in the center
of the pastry circle and brush the edge with beaten egg; draw up
the pastry to enfold the apple, pressing the edges firmly to seal.
Brush the tops of the pastry parcels with the remaining egg to
glaze. Bake in a shallow ovenproof dish for 40 minutes. Serve with
whipped cream.
