We rolled out our dough to make apple tarts and chaussons au pommes. Which literally translates to apple slippers. Chaussons aux pommes are like puff pastry empanadas filled with apple sauce. We made applesauce from scratch and mine was very cinnamon heavy. Yum.
After several egg washes, a butter wash for the apples, and scoring the chaussons, the puff pastries went into the oven. Once they came out, they were brushed with simple syrup. Golden brown and delicious! I love how the chaussons look like little leaves.
We also made another dessert with the inverse puff pastry called a pithivier. It's filled with frangipane and requires quite a bit of design work. Mine came out of the oven looking really good, although it was a little overcooked (not my fault though!).
Thursday and Friday are boulangerie days. We'll be in the kitchen before 7. I hope they have coffee.

you can MAKE puff pastry? just kidding, but seriously, i would never even consider doing it myself.
Yeah no kidding. We're not even using a sheeter. Its old-fashioned elbow grease here. At least the kitchen is freezing and we're rolling on granite.
I usually use the Trader Joes puff pastry back in the states. Good stuffs.
i haven't tried theirs, but thanks for the tip
you should come up with a step by step tutorial. Do you have the recipe?
Hi Uriel,
I have a recipe, and one of these days will get around to posting a step by step tutorial. Thanks for stopping by!
