Ingredients

• 4 pcs Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 2 tbsp Granulated sugar
• 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 tsp Ground nutmeg
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 1 sheet Puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
• 1 pcs Egg (beaten)
• 0.25 cups Caramel sauce (optional, for drizzling)
• 2 tbsp All-purpose flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Place them in a medium-sized bowl.

Step 3

Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the apples. Toss until the apple slices are evenly coated in the sugar and spice mixture.

Step 4

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the apple mixture and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples soften slightly and the sugar forms a syrup. Set aside to cool.

Step 5

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet into a rectangle roughly 12x14 inches. Cut the pastry into 8 even strips lengthwise.

Step 6

Take two strips of puff pastry and twist them together gently to form a spiral. Repeat with the remaining strips.

Step 7

Arrange the twisted pastry spirals on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each twist with the beaten egg to give them a golden sheen while baking.

Step 8

Spoon the cooled apple mixture along the length of each twist, ensuring the apples are evenly distributed.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crisp.

Step 10

Remove the twists from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle with caramel sauce, if desired, before serving.
