Ingredients

• 3 whole Granny Smith apples
• 1 cup Salted butter
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 package Frozen puff pastry sheets
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 1 whole Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel, core, and dice the Granny Smith apples into small cubes. Set them aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Cook until the mixture is bubbling, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the diced apples to the saucepan and stir until they are well coated in the caramel mixture. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples have softened slightly. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and heavy cream. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes.

Step 5

While the apple filling cools, lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets. Cut the pastry into 6 equal squares (or smaller pieces based on desired portion size).

Step 6

Place a generous spoonful of the cooled caramel apple filling onto the center of each pastry square.

Step 7

Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal. Use the tines of a fork to crimp the edges for extra security and a decorative touch.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the top of each pastry with the egg wash to encourage a golden, shiny finish.

Step 9

Place the prepared pastries on the lined baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These are best enjoyed warm but are equally delicious at room temperature.
