Apple dumplings or appelbollen

Today was very productive. I just finished painting our garden shed, or at least the first layer of paint. It has to dry now and tomorrow we can put layer no 2 on the shed. 

But first I started this morning with baking some Apple dumplings or as they are called in Dutch: Appelbollen.
I'm not sure how the real apple dumplings are made but this is a real Dutch recipe.

I used 8 apples, 8 pieces of puff pastry, sugar and cinnamon.
Take the core out and peel the apple. Put the apple on a piece of puff pastry and fill the apple with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon. Wet the edges of the puff pastry and fold the pastry around the apple so that the ends of the pastry fold over the apple. Put the apple with the folded side inside an aluminum tray and cover the top with an beaten egg. Puncture a little hole in the top.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celcius. And bake the apple dumplings for about 25 minutes.
 (I have a gas oven so it may depend on your own oven)
