If you have puff pastry and a couple of apples in the fridge, you can make wonderful crispy triangular pastries for tea. For this, you will need a sandwich maker - yes, it can be used not only for sandwiches. These pastries are absolutely simple, but very tasty. If you don't have a sandwich maker, you can also bake them in the oven.

Wash and peel the apples. Cut them into small cubes. It's better not to grate them, as the filling will turn into mush.

Let the puff pastry thaw and unfold it on a work surface. If you're baking puff pastry pies in the oven, simply cut it into rectangles and fold them in half. The size depends on your preference - you can make small or large pies, or even 2 long pies. If you're baking the pies in a sandwich maker, you can attach the panel and cut a square twice the size of the panel. Trim any excess dough so that it doesn't come out of the sandwich maker. I gently stretch the dough with my hands to make it thinner, instead of rolling it out, but you can roll it if it hasn't completely thawed and doesn't stick to the rolling pin. There's enough dough for 12 corner pies, so we need to get three squares.

Melt 2 teaspoons of butter in a stewpan, add 1.5 tablespoons of powdered sugar and sprinkle the apples. Stir and cook until the apples become softer.

Heat the sandwich maker, grease the panel with the remaining butter before the first batch of pies. It should not be too much, otherwise it will start to leak. Place the filling on the prepared dough square as the recesses are positioned on the panel. The filling needs to be divided into three batches.

Moisten the edges of the dough with water to better glue the dough. Pinch with your fingers and mark the future triangles. Transfer the blank to the bottom panel of the sandwich maker. If this method is not very convenient, you can place a dough sheet on the panel, holding onto the other edge. Quickly distribute the filling into the recesses, cover with the second edge of the dough and close the sandwich maker, thus forming pies. If baking the pies in the oven, just put the filling on half of the dough, cover with the second half and press tightly.

Bake the pies until golden brown, baking time depends on the power and features of your sandwich maker. I try not to open it for the first 5 minutes, but when it starts to make hissing sounds, I slightly open the panels to release the air. If the pies are not yet golden, I continue to cook them further. Make sure the filling does not leak or get on the heating element. If you don't close the sandwich maker, the pies will be more layered and fluffy, but not all sandwich makers like to brown in this position. In the oven, the pies are baked until golden at 210 degrees, or at the temperature indicated on the dough package.

Similar pastries with bananas are even easier to make. There is no need to cook the filling, just place the sliced bananas on the dough, and if they are not very sweet, sprinkle them lightly with powdered sugar. Then, prepare them like the apple turnovers.
