Apple-filled baskets
Description
Perfect with tea and coffee. You can use not only shortcrust pastry, but also ready-made puff pastry—it will be just as delicious. Before serving, you can add caramelized apple slices to decorate the tartlets. Served with a scoop of ice cream, this becomes a truly magical dessert. If you enjoy the combination of apples and cinnamon, I highly recommend giving it a try.
