Upside Down Apple Pie Pastry

Step 1

Pre-measure the ingredients and preheat the oven to 350ºF

Step 2

Create the egg wash by cracking the egg in a small bowl and whisking it. Set that aside.

Step 3

If using frozen pastry sheets, defrost the sheets as the package suggests. Do not let the pastry sheets get too warm. They should be malleable but still have a slight chill to them.

Step 4

Thinly slice the apple and add it to a bowl to toss with the juice of ½ lemon, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Be sure the apples are evenly coated

Step 5

Slice the chilled pastry sheet into 6 equal rectangles

Step 6

Then on a parchment lined sheet complete the following in this order:Drizzle about 1/2 tsp of maple syrup or honey in a small circle

Step 7

Sprinkle a pinch of brown sugar on top

Step 8

Lay 4 thinly sliced apple slices on top

Step 9

Drizzle with another ½ tsp of maple syrup or honey

Step 10

Place a cut pastry sheet on top and lightly press down around the edges

Step 11

Be sure that all the apple slices are covered

Step 12

Repeat for the 5 other pastries

Step 13

Once all 6 upside down apple pie pastries are assembled, use a fork to press down the edges of the pastry crusts to create trimmed little edges, as shown in the photos above

Step 14

Then brush the pastries lightly with the egg wash

Step 15

Finally, poke a couple holes on top of each pastry to allow for airflow while baking

Step 16

Place the baking sheet immediately in the oven and bake until the tops are golden brown, about 20 – 25 minutes

Step 17

Remove the upside down pastries from the oven and sprinkle with a bit of coconut sugar.

Step 18

Allow them to cool for at least 15 minutes before using a spatula to gently flip them over

Step 19

Devour on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream
