Description

Caramel Apple Puff Pastries are buttery, warm, and crazy easy to make. Thin apple slices baked on golden puff pastry with cinnamon sugar and a rich caramel drizzle — this dessert smells like fall and tastes even better.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed (but still cold)
  • 2 medium apples (Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala), thinly sliced
  • 6 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
  • 46 tablespoons caramel sauce
  • Vanilla ice cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash, core, and slice apples very thinly.
  3. In a small bowl, mix sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface. Cut into 6 equal rectangles and place on baking sheet. Use a fork to poke holes in the center of each.
  5. Layer apple slices in the center of each pastry. Slightly overlap slices.
  6. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture over apples and dot with butter pieces.
  7. Bake for 18–20 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
  8. Drizzle with caramel sauce while still warm and serve, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

For extra crunch, add chopped pecans before baking. No caramel sauce? Melt soft caramel candies with a splash of cream. Dust with powdered sugar to make it extra pretty.
