Ingredients
  • FOR THE APPLE CRANBERRY BITES
  • 1 apple, peeled and diced (I cut into chunks and then diced it to make the pieces pretty small)
  • ½ cup fresh cranberries (My hubby likes the cranberries to pop in his mouth so I leave them whole, feel free to chop if you prefer)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • pinch of salt
    FOR THE BLUEBERRY BITES
  • 2 cups frozen blueberries, no need to thaw
  • 3-4 tablespoons raspberry jam (enough to coat all the blueberries)
    FOR ASSEMBLY
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry dough, thawed
  • soft butter for coating the pan
Preparation Instructions
  1. TO MAKE THE APPLE CRANBERRY FILLING
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the apples, cranberries, sugar, cinnamon, flour and salt.
  3. Mix until the apples are evenly coated and are starting to give off some of their juice.
  4. Proceed to assembly instructions
    TO MAKE THE BLUEBERRY FILLING
  5. Place the blueberries in a small mixing bowl, add the raspberry jam and toss to coat.
  6. Proceed to assembly instructions.
    TO ASSEMBLE THE BITES
  7. Preheat the oven to 375ยบ.
  8. Using a pastry brush or your fingers, thickly brush the soft butter into the cups on a muffin tray, the puff pastry can really stick so get a good coat on there.
  9. Cut the puff pastry dough into 12 squares and place one square into each muffin cup, pushing the center down a little so it forms a little cup to put the filling into.
  10. Place about 1 - 2 tablespoons of filling into each cup
  11. Bake until the puff pastry is cooked through, about 20-30 minutes (30 for altitude above 7000ft).
  12. Allow to cool in the pan about 5 minutes and then use a spoon to scoop each one out, serve hot with freshly whipped cream, vanilla ice cream or just plain!
