Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 box Puff Pastry Sheets, thawed
- 2 Honeycrisp Apples, thinly sliced
- 1 Egg
- 1/3 cup Coconut Sugar or Florida Crystals Organic Raw Cane Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon (slightly heaping)
- 5-Ingredient Vegan Caramel Sauce, for drizzling
Instructions
- Let pastry thaw: Thaw one puff pastry sheet according to package directions; about 30-35 minutes.
- Make the topping: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. To a small bowl, add the sugar and cinnamon and stir to combine.
- Pastry: Gently roll out the puff pastry with a rolling pin, and add to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Prick the dough with a fork to prevent it from bubbling up during cooking.
- Egg: Whisk the egg together and lightly brush it all over the pastry.
- Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle most of the cinnamon sugar topping all over the puff pastry.
- Apples: Top with the apples in whatever pattern you desire.
- Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar topping all over the apples.
- Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
- Cut: Remove from the oven and cut into squares. Serve immediately.
- Optional but highly recommended: Drizzle some vegan caramel sauce on top.
Notes
- Apples/Puff Pastry: Use the lines in the pastry as a guide to organize the apples. Be sure to also prick the dough with a fork to prevent it from bubbling up during cooking. (If this step is skipped, the dough puffs up and some of the toppings slide off).
- Sugar: Feel free to use either cane sugar or coconut sugar. Coconut sugar is unrefined and is the healthier option. However, both work well for this recipe.
- Cook Time: Cook for less time if you desire less of a crunch. If you want more of a crunch cook for longer.
- Servings: Makes 6 large servings or 12 smaller servings.
