Cuisine: American
Serves: 10 rolls
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 2 cups apples, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine diced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix thoroughly until apples are evenly coated.
- Carefully unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to gently smooth out any creases.
- Cut the puff pastry sheet into 10 equal rectangular strips.
- Spoon the apple mixture along the center of each pastry strip, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Carefully roll each strip into a cylindrical shape, ensuring the apple filling is securely enclosed. Pinch the edges to seal.
- Place the rolled pastries seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush each pastry roll with beaten egg, which will help create a golden, shiny exterior.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy warm.
Tips
- Ensure your puff pastry is completely thawed but still cold for the best texture and easy handling.
- Use firm, crisp apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best flavor and texture in your filling.
- Don't overfill the pastry strips to prevent leaking during baking.
- For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a sprinkle of nutmeg or a splash of vanilla extract to the apple mixture.
- Make sure to seal the edges of the pastry rolls tightly to prevent the filling from escaping during baking.
- Let the rolls cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar to prevent it from melting completely.
- Serve warm for the most delightful eating experience, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
