Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
  • 3 large honeycrisp apples peeled and diced
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ⅔ cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoon water
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon sanding sugar

Instructions

  • Remove one sheet of puff pastry from the package and unwrap paper wrapper. Place pastry in a triangle on the paper to thaw. Once thawed enough to not break, lay pastry flat to continue thawing.
    1 sheet puff pastry
  • Peel and dice honeycrisp apples into ½ inch pieces. Transfer apples to a saucepan with cinnamon, sugar, lemon juice and water. Cook over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until a syrup coats the apples.
    3 large honeycrisp apples, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ⅔ cup sugar, 2 tablespoon water, 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Remove apples from the heat and set aside. Preheat oven to 375.
  • Roll out puff pastry to 9x13 and transfer to a baking sheet. Cut strips on either sides of the pastry to create the braided effect. Strips should go in 3 inches and be 1 inch wide, leaving about 2 inches to fill the center.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove excess juice and layer the apples down the center of the pastry, leaving ½ inch at the top and bottom so the apples don't fall out during baking.
  • Alternate lifting strips from each side and crossing over the apples, creating a braided effect.
  • Whisk the egg and brush over the entire pastry. Top with sanding sugar and bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown.
    1 large egg, 1 tablespoon sanding sugar
  • Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
