Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the chopped nuts, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.
-
On a lightly floured surface, unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet and roll it out slightly to smooth the creases.
-
Brush the entire surface of the puff pastry with the melted butter, leaving a small border around the edges.
-
Drizzle the maple syrup over the buttered puff pastry, then sprinkle the nut mixture evenly on top.
-
Starting from one long side, gently roll the pastry into a tight log. Press the seam lightly to seal.
-
Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 1-inch sections. You should get about 12 twists.
-
Take each twist and gently stretch it a little, then twist it a few times to create a spiral shape. Place the twists on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
-
Brush each twist with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the twists are puffed and golden brown.
-
Remove the Maple Nut Twists from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
-
If desired, dust the twists with powdered sugar before serving.
