Step 3: Fill and Fold
Spoon the cooled apple mixture onto the center of each pastry rectangle.
Drizzle a little caramel sauce over the apples.
Fold the pastry over into pockets (like turnovers) or leave them open for a rustic tart look.
Press the edges with a fork to seal if you’re folding them.
Brush the tops with the beaten egg to give them that golden shine.
Step 4: Bake
Bake for 15–20 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
The caramel may bubble out slightly — that’s a good sign of deliciousness!
Step 5: Serve
Drizzle more caramel sauce over the warm pastries and dust lightly with powdered sugar.
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
Bonus Tip
You can make a big sheet version by laying out the pastry whole, spreading the apple filling down the middle, and folding both sides over like a braid. It looks stunning and serves a crowd!
Final Thoughts
This Caramel Apple Puff Pastry is the perfect blend of flaky, buttery, and sweet. It’s fancy enough for guests but simple enough to make on a weekday evening.
Once you try it, you’ll understand why it’s become my favorite “impress everyone with minimal effort” dessert.
