Equipment

  • Muffin Tin

Ingredients

Apples:

  • 2-3 Red apples
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoon Granulated sugar

Assembly:

  • ¼ cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground nutmeg
  • Pinch Salt
  • 1 sheet Puff pastry ½ package
  • 4 tablespoon Maple syrup

Instructions

Apples:

  • Core the apples. Thinly slice the apples, place slices in a large microwave safe bowl along with the lemon juice. Gently toss to coat.
  • Drain off any excess juice. Measure 2 tablespoon Granulated sugar into the bowl of apples, toss once again to coat.
  • Microwave on high for 3 minutes, drain well, then allow to cool.

Assembly:

  • Preheat oven to 375 F. Generously grease 6 muffin mold cavities with butter, and/or use a silicone pan. Set aside.
  • Mix together sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  • Flatten out the sheet of puff pastry on a clean work surface.
  • Gently roll it to flatten it out a little bit - don’t squish it too hard!
  • Using a sharp knife or pizza wheel to cut against the length (ie: from long side to long side), cut the dough into 6 equal strips.
  • Brush each strip with maple syrup, then sprinkle generously with the spiced sugar.
  • Pour remaining spiced sugar over the cooled apple slices, gently toss to combine.
  • One at a time, line up apple slices along an edge of a pastry strip.
  • You’ll want to start at one short end, ave the skin side of each apple slice hanging about ½" off the edge of the strip, and overlap each slice by about ⅓ - ½.
  • Fold the bottom part of the dough up over the flat edge of the apple slices.
  • Starting at one end of a strip, roll the folded pastry and apples into a relatively tight spiral, keeping the folded edge of the dough level, as shown.
  • Gently press the loose of pastry dough into the main part of the strip, to secure.
  • Place in prepared cupcake tin, repeat with remaining 5 strips of pastry. Chill for 15 minutes.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown and cooked through.
  • Remove pastries from the oven, and brush with remaining maple syrup, bake for another 5 minutes.
  • Allow pastries to cool for 5-10 minutes, before gently transferring each pastry to a wire rack or plate to finish cooling.
  • Store leftovers in an air-tight container at room temp for a day or two - best served the same day they're cooked, though.

Notes

The sugars and syrup can caramelize in the pan, and will act as a POWERFUL glue if you allow the pastries to fully cool in the pan. Take them out while they’re still warm!
