Ingredients
for 8 pieces
- 250 g wholemeal flour
- 250 g Becel Creamy from a tub
- 100 ml water
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 Goudreinette apples
- 2 Conference pears
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp orange blossom water
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp cardamom
- powdered sugar, to taste
- sunflower oil, to cover
Preparation method
- Place a sheet of baking paper on the counter, spread 200 grams of Becel Creamy over it, fold the paper in half enclosing the spread, roll flat to a 1 cm thick square, and chill in the refrigerator.
- Sift the flour into a bowl, add 50 grams of cold Becel Creamy, water, and salt. Knead into a smooth dough ball, wrap in plastic, and rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Remove dough and Becel square from the fridge. Flour your work surface and rolling pin. Roll dough into a circle slightly larger than the original ball. Center the Becel square on it and fold edges inward to enclose.
- Roll into a rectangle, fold into thirds. Rotate 90 degrees, roll again into a rectangle, and fold into thirds. Wrap and chill 30 minutes. Repeat twice more, with 30-minute chills between, plus one final 30-minute rest.
- Peel and core apples and pears, dice into 5 x 5 mm cubes. Toss with sugar, lemon juice, orange blossom water, cinnamon, and cardamom. Set aside.
- Roll dough to a 5 mm thick large rectangle. Cut lengthwise in half, then each half into quarters for 8 squares.
- Preheat oven to 200°C.
- Place squares on counter. Spoon apple-pear filling in triangles onto half of each, leaving edges clear. Fold diagonally over filling, seal edges. Brush with sunflower oil. Bake 25 minutes until golden and crisp.
- Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm immediately!
