Ingredients
– 2 large apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
– 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed)
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 egg (for egg wash)
– Caramel sauce (for drizzling)
Equipment Needed
– Baking sheet
– Parchment paper
– Mixing bowl
– Rolling pin
– Knife
– Pastry brush
– Saucepan
Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While that’s heating, go ahead and prepare the apples. Peel, core, and dice them into small pieces—this makes them tender and easy to tuck into the pastry later on. I usually grab a mixing bowl, toss in the diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir it all up until the apples are well coated with the sugary goodness. The smell is irresistible!
