Today, we’re sharing a delightful recipe that encapsulates all the comfort and joy of fall – Cinnamon Apple Roll Ups.
Ingredients:
– 2 cups of peeled and thinly sliced apples
– 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
– 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
– 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
– 1 egg, beaten
– 1/4 cup of brown sugar
– 1/4 cup of chopped pecans
– Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are well coated and set aside.
3. Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to form a large rectangle. Brush the surface of the pastry with the beaten egg.
4. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the pastry, followed by the chopped pecans.
5. Spread the apple mixture over the pastry, leaving a border around the edges to help seal the roll ups.
6. Starting from one edge, carefully roll the pastry into a log, making sure the filling is secure inside.
7. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 1-inch thick pieces.
8. Place the roll ups on the prepared baking sheet with the swirl side facing up.
9. Brush the tops of the roll ups with the remaining beaten egg for a shiny finish.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender.
11. Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
12. Dust the Cinnamon Apple Roll Ups with powdered sugar for a final touch before enjoying the sweet, cinnamon-infused goodness.
