How to Make Handmade Flaky Rough Puff Pastry Apple Pies

What’s better than a rough puff pastry recipe? Two of them! And that is why we’re finishing the year off with another rough puff pastry treat. If you tried my previous rough puff pastry recipe you know that it did not contain a lot of sugar, but it was still quite sweet. We achieved that by brushing the pastries with sugar syrup after baking.
I wanted to keep the same (low sugar) theme in this recipe. The apple filling is not very sweet and the only sugar in the pastry is the sugar that is sprinkled onto it before baking. The result is a slightly tart, sweet, and flaky apple pie flavoured with fragrant spices.

Have you ever tried using Shio Koji in bread baking?

[@Anesthesia069]

I was never a pastry person. Then my girlfriend (now wife) got to me try an apple turnover 12 years ago and I have loved them since then. I think she will like these :)

[@jkidd1982]

Not a pastry person, how is that possible? Your gf caught you just in time😉

[@Anesthesia069]

@@jkidd1982 thankfully, that was over 12 years ago. Since then, I have learnt to make decent handmade Vienoisserie at home.

[@Jeepy2-LoveToBake]

Baked these late last night - a double batch so I could share at the office. So delicious, flaky with the spiced sugar and filling! (#289) Photos have been posted,

[@bonniebon7335]

I place my flour and salt mixture along with any utensils in the freezer until I am ready. I prefer to large grate frozen butter and put it, also, in the freezer until I am ready. Lay the butter out flat in the freezer to avoid it solidifying completely. Break it apart gently when making the dough. A little bit before starting the dough, I put my water in the freezer and take it out and start the dough when the water is, literally just about to freeze on its surface. Pre freezing works exceptionally well for tempura batter and pie dough. Shortening works far better for achieving flakiness, but I think it’s gross to cook with so I mostly use butter. Sometimes I use half shortening and half butter. I also pre freeze shortening in the same manner.

He is rather amazing, isn't he - so versatile with his various playlists/recipes - and sharing them all with us on his YT channel 🤩

[@ChainBaker]

You're too kind, Lan 🥰 I'm just happy that people are baking along 😎

[@minormynah]

Looks delicious, definitely will try!

[@adamhiggins2160]

Looks banging, cant wait to make them

[@georgepagakis9854]

I don't know how you keep so thin but I am afraid to do most of the sweets because I will get fat LOL But this one and Brioche are part of my NY task. The wife made me promise to make Brioche with Cinnamon. Took down all the recipes and if they look good I will post them I have learned so much from you. My pizza has gone to the next level. Now I am ready for more baking as its really no different from making pizza. just more fun! Happy new year brother. You Rock!! Keep up the amazing videos!!!!!!

[@ChainBaker]

I share most of these treats and I walk a LOT 😄 cheers George! Happy New Year to you and yours. And good luck with the bakes 😎

This looks easy enough that I will try it.

[@Jeepy2-LoveToBake]

This is such a wonderful recipe - everyone should try this!!!

thank you, another yummy recipe and idea,

[@janetgerney2094]

Yum!! Charlie, your rough puff pastry is amazing! Pears are abundant here, I'm going to try this using pears....

[@ChainBaker]

Sounds good! 😁

[@Jeepy2-LoveToBake]

Yay - apple pie!!!!!

Thank you!!🤗🤗💕💕😋😋👍👍

OK, I surrender . . . I must try these.

[@Jules-740]

I really like his editing style and demonstration how he shows the ingredients.

[@ahmedhossam629]

I want a pretzel brioche bun

[@rmo9808]

Saw a recipe for a sweet focaccia. It was more like regular focaccia with a sweet topping but it's an interesting idea. A glaze could be used or perhaps throw on cinnamon and sugar at the end of baking and broil it.

[@BigboiiTone]

Nice to see the Chain Baker classic "rough puff" in action with any dessert but I feel it shines with apples especially. I have also begun using cardamon in this last month, implementing it into my holiday baking. I didn't make pannatone this year but the card' is a game changer in the spice cookies i made!😊

[@daethar]

What do I think? Perfection. Really. It was my last recipe of 2023 and oh my, what a finish! Thank you for all the bakes!

[@ChainBaker]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. On to more great bakes in 2024 😎

[@damianrhea8875]

Thank you, Charlie! I can see a lot of savoury variations on this hand pie, such as Indian-flavoured vegan filling, minced lamb curry filling, and my friend’s incredible Peruvian empanada filling w/ minced beef, olives, green onion, raisins, egg wedges, chili pepper, coriander, spices, etc.. Your products are BEAUTIFUL and inspiring!

[@ChainBaker]

🤤

[@SamTahbou]

Never made rough puff, this will be my first, I have apples I was planning to use in a French tart but these just look too good!

[@madguitarist63]

Made this today, and i added a little rum to that filling, highly recommend!

[@ChainBaker]

Nice one!

[@mattlevault5140]

I've had very good luck with your palmiers. With the standard cinnamon sugar and cardamom filling, they have made some great impressions at holiday gatherings. The possibilities are endless with the filling. Never considered making pies. Someone in the comments mentioned pears. Good idea! That's why I follow you!

[@FLIGHT2013]

Great 👍

[@MsPats1]

I can’t wait to make these! And yes! We call them Granny Smith’s!

[@jameswhite1450]

we call them granny smith in Canada too.

[@knottybead4871]

My husband ( and me 😉) will really love these. My baking list is getting longer.

[@Jeepy2-LoveToBake]

Another option - omit the sugar topping, apply an egg wash before baking and then pour a glaze made of icing sugar/water (or milk) after it has cooled. I haven't tried that yet - I will for the next batch - maybe tonight 😉 Hi everyone, we are at 192K subscribers - let's all work together and make 2024 the best year ever for Charlie's YT channel 💯 Please continue to share your bakes with friends and family, mention Charlie's YT channel, ask them to subscribe and try some of his recipes (this recipe is a winner! - I baked a double batch on Christmas morning to bring to our family Christmas lunch - everyone loved them!). 💯 Wishing you all a Happy New Year and an outstanding 2024!! 🥳🥳🎉🎉

[@smithynfld]

Could you do a traditional molasses raisin bread? My favorite bread.

[@ChainBaker]

I'll add it to my list ;)

[@Emcfree2084]

great videos, thank you :) Is bread flour the same as plain flour? or strong bread flour? I can't seem to find just white bread flour

[@ChainBaker]

Strong bread flour 👍

[@Emcfree2084]

@@ChainBakerthanks for getting back to me and so quickly. That’s really helpful and explains why the apple pies were very flakey and hard to work with as I used plain flour. I have now tried 4 of your recipes including this one and they have all come out amazing even though I have made mistakes. I have also learned that I have been making bad mistakes for years such as using sugar in yeast, not enough salt and not considering the dough temp. Your videos have taught me that baking is literally chemistry :)

[@beautyhealthguidance6061]

Hi ,your videos r informative i have a question if i make bread with wholewheat and barlay flour can i add yeast and baking powder and vinegar to make it soft and fluffy like store baught bread.

[@ChainBaker]

I've never used those ingredients for that purpose. Here's what I do to make bread softer kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3WQdYqGlsuAg80

Hey awesome baker, are you on vacations.

[@ChainBaker]

I'm taking a little time off from uploading. New videos starting this Sunday 😉

[@imbykji]

I definitely need more sugar 😂. I think I will add a few giant salt crystals on top, too. Maybe some kind of liquor with the apple...

[@nadiaaljoaib387]

Hello chef imade the brioche bread it was wonderful if my country does not have rye flour what shoud iuse instead

[@ChainBaker]

It depends on the recipe. If the rye portion is small you can just replace it with some whole wheat or whole grain spelt. If it's a 100% rye bread recipe, then just make something else instead.

[@gregsavchuk3239]

Charlie, Wow & Thx! How many things can be made with Flaky Rough Puff Pastry? The world may never know...

[@ChainBaker]

I got to make some more for sure 😄

[@alinapala]

@@ChainBaker glad to read that!!!! I'm buying flour to be ready! 🙂

[@AnthonyLeighDunstan]

This is what I imagined flap jacks ought to be. When I found out they were basically just muesli bars I thought “but there’s already a name for these… *_MUESLI BARS!!!_* Anyway, in Dutch we call these “appelflappen” which makes perfect sense to me. 😂

[@ChainBaker]

That is a great name 😄

[@dustinthewind5538]

I tried this recipe this evening, and they’re still in the oven baking, its been about 40 minutes and still not finished. It seems like maybe i rolled the dough too thick, but they sure have puffed up and super flaky!

[@ChainBaker]

Hopefully they turn out ok 🤞

[@Jules-740]

Hello good Sir! Can you direct me to your best Borodinski bread recipe?

[@ChainBaker]

It's in the Rye Bread playlist ✌️ I should revisit it though.

[@Jules-740]

@@ChainBaker Thank you! 👍Yes it would be great if you did!

[@turnerc23]

What is that spatula you're using in all your videos? Appears here at around 3 minutes.

[@ChainBaker]

It's a dough scraper. The one I use is made by a company called Vogue. But you can find them anywhere for just a couple $

[@norcalovenworks]

I feel abandoned., waiting for another bake. Fine. I’m baking a 50% rye bread with honey and anise seed, this one will not have fermented malted rye as I am trying a light rye bread. The honey and anise is currently undergoing a bulk ferment with sourdough starter to create acidity, and the smell is awesome.

[@ChainBaker]

I'll be back on the 28th 😎

[@NotMyNameGrandma-wz9yx]

Charlie, the link to your recipes doesn't work - at least not for me. When I open the link, I receive a message "no results found". I haven't been able to find the recipes on your website either. I'm sorry to be a pest, but I am wondering in other viewers are encountering the same issue. Thank you, Charlie!

[@ChainBaker]

As a channel member you get early access to videos, but I cannot set up the same early access for written recipes on my website. So before the videos go public you can find the written recipes in the Community Tab on my channel right here on KZbin. Click the channel icon you'll find it there 😉

[@NotMyNameGrandma-wz9yx]

Thank you, Charlie! I now understand! Who says you can't teach this old dog a new trick??😁. I need a grandkid to shadow me when I'm on the computer! I hope you're having a great week.
