🍏 Puff Pastry Apple Rings

Wash the apple and slice it crosswise into rings about 1 cm thick. Carefully remove the core from the center of each ring.

Combine the sugar and cinnamon. Coat the apple rings with the cinnamon-sugar mixture on both sides.

Lightly roll out the puff pastry to about 2–3 mm thick. Cut it into long strips about 2–3 cm wide.

Wrap the pastry strips around each apple ring in a spiral, slightly overlapping the pastry as you go.

Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Beat the egg and lightly brush it over the pastry.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 12–15 minutes, or until the puff pastry has risen and turned golden brown.

Let the pastries cool slightly. Serve warm, drizzled with caramel sauce or dusted with powdered sugar if desired.
