Ingredients
- 2 ready-to-bake sheets of puff pastry dough
- 3 medium Granny Smith apples peeled or unpeeled
- 2 tablespoons salted butter melted
- ½ cup white granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Thaw the puff pastry dough according to the package directions and lay it flat. Use a sharp knife, pie, or pastry cutter to cut the sheets horizontally into 12 equal strips a little less than a half-inch wide.
- Cut the tops and bottoms off your apples and then slice them horizontally into half-inch thick rings. Depending on the size of your apples, you should be able to get about 3-4 rings out of each apple.
- Use a small biscuit cutter or apple corer to punch a hole in the center of each apple slice. If you use an apple corer, you might have to enlarge the hole a bit.
- Thread each apple ring with a strip of puff pastry dough, looping it around to cover the apple completely.
- Transfer your apple ring pastries to a large baking sheet, and then brush the tops with butter using a pastry brush. Whisk together the sugar and cinnamon and lightly sprinkle it over the tops.
- Bake the apple pastries for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately while still warm, and enjoy!
Notes
- Keep puff pastry chilled until ready to use; warm dough won’t puff properly.
- Don’t overload with sugar; too much melts and makes pastries soggy.
- Check baking early; pastries can go from golden to overdone quickly.
