Why this recipe works
The filling must not be warm and liquid
Unbound apple juice can soften the seams. Therefore, the filling is briefly heated and then cooled. For four small parcels, 150 g rectangular puff pastry is weighed; two batches with two bags each are included in cooking time. Extra icing sugar, ice cream or cream are not included.
