Apple Danish Braid
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
-
On a lightly floured surface, unfold one sheet of puff pastry. Using a sharp knife, gently score the pastry diagonally on each side, leaving a strip in the center uncut (this will be where the filling goes).
-
Brush the center strip with melted butter and sprinkle half of the sugar mixture over the butter.
-
Arrange half of the apple slices on top of the sugar mixture.
-
Fold the cut strips of pastry over the filling, alternating sides to create a braided pattern. Press the ends to seal.
-
Repeat the same process with the second sheet of puff pastry and the remaining sugar mixture and apple slices.
-
Transfer both pastries to the prepared baking sheet.
-
Brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg to create a golden finish.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
-
Allow the Apple Danish Braids to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar.
-
Serve warm and enjoy.
