Ingredients
Scale
Puff Pastry
- 1 package puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
Apple Filling
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Garnish
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- Additional caramel sauce for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the puff pastry to a golden, flaky finish.
- Prepare Apple Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples with caramel sauce, cinnamon, and sugar. Toss well to evenly coat the apples with the sweet, spiced mixture.
- Roll Out Puff Pastry: On a floured surface, roll out one sheet of puff pastry into a rectangle, preparing it to hold the apple filling.
- Assemble Pastry: Place half of the apple mixture in the center of the rolled puff pastry. Carefully fold over the edges to fully enclose the filling, creating a sealed pocket.
- Bake: Transfer the filled pastry onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry turns golden brown and puffed.
- Cool and Garnish: Allow the pastry to cool slightly before serving. Drizzle with additional caramel sauce and garnish with fresh parsley to add a pop of color and freshness.
Notes
- Ensure the puff pastry is well chilled before rolling for best results.
- Use tart apple varieties like Granny Smith for a nice balance of sweet and tart flavors.
- Fresh parsley is optional but adds a lovely visual contrast.
- For a richer flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg to the apple filling.
- Leftover puff pastry can be frozen for future use.
