Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Rolling Pin
- Baking sheet
Ingredients
- 1 large Granny Smith apple or 2 small
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- 1 tsp flour
- 1 tsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 tbsp butter melted
Instructions
- Let puff pastry sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
- Wash, peel and dice apples evenly. Place into a mixing bowl.
- Add granulated sugar, cinnamon, salt, flour and lemon juice. Set aside.
- Unroll the puff pastry and place on a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to smooth out any creases and roll it out to about 1/8-inch thick.
- Melt the butter and gently brush it over the puff pastry.
- Spread the apples evenly across the puff pastry. Leave a small border around the edges to allow for easy rolling.
- Starting at the long end, gently roll the puff pastry into a log, ensuring the apples stay tucked inside. Use a little water to seal the edge.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the log into pinwheels about 1-inch thick. Be gentle so you don't crush the layers.
- Place each pinwheel flat on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between them as they will puff up while baking.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Remove them from oven and let them cool a few minutes.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Drizzle on caramel sauce if desired.
- Enjoy!
