Apple, Raisin and Cinnamon Envelopes
4 servings
30 minutes
Apple, raisin, and cinnamon envelopes are a true embodiment of French charm in home baking. The flaky pastry, delicate and airy, creates a crispy shell hiding a fragrant filling of juicy apples, sweet raisins, and spicy cinnamon. This dessert is associated with warm family evenings and the coziness of a country kitchen. In France, such pastries often accompany tea time or are served as a morning treat. They pair perfectly with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or warm tea. The ease of preparation makes this recipe accessible even for novice cooks, while the rich flavor turns each tasting into a small celebration.
