Perfect 1-Person Pastry

You want something. What can I eat? You find yourself in your kitchen, opening the cupboards searching for something you know is not there. Second question: what can I make? That's a good one. I always have a lot of stuff in my cupboards, so with a little imagination I can usually make something of it. But even if you haven't stuffed your kitchen as I have, there is something to make that will satisfy your cravings. 

I always have a pack of frozen puff pastry in my freezer and so should you. Add an apple and you're good to go. This is one of my favorite quick snacks. Not only because it delicious, quick and real easy to make, but also because you can make only one, just for you. I like baking pies and stuff, but I always end up eating the whole thing by myself and after three days of eating the same pie, I'm kind of done with it.



This is what you need for one:
- One slice of frozen puff pastry
- 1/4 of an apple 
- raisins
- cinnamon
- sugar 

(If you're cupboards are real pathetic, you can skip the raisins and the cinnamon and it will still be delicious..)

This how you make it:
Preheat the oven to 210 degrees. Take the pastry out of the freezer and let it defrost for a few minutes, until it bends easily. Cut the apple in small pieces. Mix with a few raisins, a pinch of cinnamon and a teaspoon of sugar. Lay the apple mixture on half of the pastry. You want to fold two corners together, so make sure to place the apple on the right side. Don't use too much or your pastry won't close. 
Close the pastry by folding two corners together, press the edges to seal it. Punch holes in it with a fork, sprinkle some sugar on it and stick in the oven for 15 minutes. Done!
