Ingredients
- 1 box puff pastry thawed
- 3 medium Envy Apples peeled, cored and thinly sliced
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup sanding sugar optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Combine apples, sugar and cinnamon together in a medium bowl, tossing to coat. Set aside.
- Unfold one sheet of puff pastry and place it onto the prepared baking sheet. Roll it out to a 12x16 rectangle. On the long ends, use a sharp knife to cut in 2 inches from either end, creating strips that you can fold up.
- Repeat with the other sheet of puff pastry.
- Layer half of the apple mixture down the center of the puff pastry and fold in the strips, alternating sides to create a braided look. Repeat with the remaining apples and sheet of puff pastry.
- Lightly beat the egg in a small bowl and brush on top of both puff pastry braids.
- Sprinkle the sanding sugar on top of both braids.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until lightly golden.
- Cool slightly on the baking sheet before cutting into 4-6 pieces per braid.
Notes
If you don't have sanding sugar, a coarse sugar will work the same.
