Prep Time:    10min

Cook Time:    20min

Total Time:   1h 20min

Servings:     4

Difficulty:   Very Easy

Ingredients: 

2 apples

1 Tsp of cinnamon

1/2 Tsp of ground cloves

1/4 tsp of nutmeg 

1 bag of vanilla sugar (8gm)

8 Tbsp of apple vinegar 

10 Tsp of sugar (more or less according to taste) 

4 small square sheets of puff pastry 

oil to fry

1. Peal the apples, remove the center and cut them in small cubes.
2. Place the apples in a pot over medium heat.
3. Add the ground cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and half of the sugar.
4. Give it all a good stir until all the apples are evenly coated with the mix.
5. Add the apple vinegar and give it an other good stir.
6. After 2 minutes add the rest of the sugar and the vanilla sugar.
7. Mix everything well together and let it cook for an other 8minutes until the apples are nice and soft.
8. Remove the pot from the heat and let it completely cool off.
9. While the apples cool off, remove the puff pastry from the freezer and cut each square in half. 
10. You should now have 8 rectangular sheets of puff pastry not bigger then your hand. 
11. Leave them out to defrost wile your apples cool down. 
12. Once your apples are ready place about 2 tbsp of the apple mix on 4 of the pastry sheets.
13. Use the remaining 4 sheets to cover up and close the pies. I recommend stretching them out a little to the sides first to make it easier to close them. 
14. Make sure your sheets stick well together. You wouldn't want any oil leaking in to your pies laters. 
15. Place the pockets back in the freezer for 1h.
16. You can start heating up your oil about 5 minutes before removing the pockets from the freezer.
17. Throw a small piece of bred in the frier to check if the oil is hot enough. If it sizzles away, it's ready.
18. Place 1 or 2 pockets in the frier at a time, depending on how big is your frier, you don't want them to be touching. 
19. Frie the pies for 10 minutes, occasionally turning them around. 
20. The pies should be golden and crispy.
21. Remove the pies from the oil and dry them of exec oil with some tissue or a towel. 
22. Let them cool of for 10minutes before you attack them. You don't want to burn your self. 
23. Enjoy...
