Crispy golden layers of puff pastry, gooey caramel sauce, and tender cinnamon apples — it tastes like a bakery masterpiece but takes less than 30 minutes to make.
Here’s how to make it step by step.
Ingredients
-
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (thawed)
-
2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and thinly sliced
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
2 tablespoons brown sugar
-
½ teaspoon cinnamon
-
1 tablespoon flour (optional, to thicken the filling)
-
¼ cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
-
1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
-
Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Prep the Apples
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Cook for 5–6 minutes until the apples are soft and slightly caramelized.
If the mixture looks too runny, sprinkle in the flour and stir — it’ll thicken nicely.
Let cool for a few minutes.
Step 2: Prepare the Puff Pastry
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Unfold the puff pastry sheet and cut it into 4–6 equal rectangles (or keep it whole for a large tart-style dessert).
Place them on the baking tray.
