Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
On a lightly floured surface, unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet. Cut it into 8 equal rectangles using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
-
Brush each puff pastry rectangle with the cinnamon sugar butter mixture, making sure to coat the entire surface.
-
Place apple slices along the shorter side of each rectangle, overlapping slightly. Leave a small border around the edges to seal the pastry.
-
Roll up each pastry rectangle, starting from the side with the apples, to create a neat spiral. Press the edge to seal and prevent the filling from oozing out during baking.
-
Transfer the rolled pastries to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for expansion while baking.
-
Brush the tops of the pastries with any remaining cinnamon sugar butter mixture for a glossy finish.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and let the Apfelriemchen cool slightly on the baking sheet. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
-
Serve the warm Apfelriemchen with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
