TONY AND ROSE KITCHEN MAKING APPLE AND CUSTARD PASTIZZI

custard

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: vanilla pudding mix

Greek yogurt adds creaminess with fewer calories.

puff pastry

🥗Healthier: phyllo dough

💰Cheaper: homemade pie crust

Phyllo dough is lighter, and homemade crust can be more economical.

Cut 6 apples into small square pieces, leaving the skin on.

Put the chopped apples in a big bowl.

Add 4-5 tablespoons of sugar to the bowl with the apples.

Add 2-3 tablespoons of cinnamon and mix everything together by hand.

In a frying pan, add half a glass of water and the apple mixture.

Cook the apples until they are very soft but not melted, then let them cool.

Once cooled, mix in 4 tablespoons of custard powder with the apples.

Get the puff pastry (store-bought or homemade).

Fry the pastizzi in oil or bake them in an air fryer for 20 minutes.

If frying, ensure the oil is hot enough by checking with a wooden spoon for bubbles.

Serve the pastizzi cold, dusted with icing sugar.
