Air-Fryer Caramel Apple Danish Pockets preparation stage

You’ll Need

1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry
2 apples, peeled and diced small
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
25g butter, melted
4 tbsp caramel sauce
1 egg, beaten
For The Finish
2 tbsp caramel sauce
1 tbsp icing sugar
Optional But Dangerous
Vanilla ice cream
Biscoff crumbs
White chocolate drizzle

Method

Preheat your air fryer to 180°C.

Add the diced apples to a bowl with the brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter.

Mix thoroughly until evenly coated.

Cut the puff pastry into 4 equal rectangles.

Spoon a little caramel sauce into the centre of each rectangle.

Top with the apple mixture, keeping away from the edges.

Fold the pastry over to create pockets and seal the edges firmly with a fork.

Brush the tops with beaten egg.

Place into the air fryer basket lined with baking paper, leaving space between each Danish.

Air fry at 180°C for 10–12 minutes until puffed, deeply golden, and crisp.

Allow to cool for 2–3 minutes.

Drizzle over the remaining caramel sauce and dust lightly with icing sugar.

Serve warm while the filling is still soft and sticky.

Lad Tip: If a little caramel escapes and starts bubbling around the edges of the pastry, leave it alone. Those sticky caramelised bits are usually the first thing everybody fights over.
