Ingredients
- 4 puff pastry squares, thawed
- 1 apple very thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped nuts, walnuts or pistachios or other
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F (190C), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Drizzle honey on 4 different parts of the baking sheet, evenly spaced apart, and spread each drizzle into a square a little smaller than the puff pastry square (Watch the video for visual instructions)
- Place thinly sliced apples, overlapping on each honey square (I put 5 apple slices on each). Drizzle a little more honey over the apple slices, and sprinkle with nuts if using.
- Place each puff pastry square over this honey apple mound, and press down slightly so that the square is sticking firmly to the apples.
- Beat together the egg and water, and brush evenly over the puff pastry.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Enjoy warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes
- Ingredient notes:
- Storing leftovers and freezing:
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days in the fridge, and reheat in a warm oven at 350F (180C) for 5-7 minutes, or in an air fryer at 350F (180C) for 2-3 minutes.
- You can freeze the assembled apple puff pastry squares before baking, place on a baking sheet until frozen, then place together in an airtight container, You don't need to thaw before baking just add a few minutes to baking time once you are ready.
- If the puff pastry gets warm while you are working with it, pop it in the fridge for a few minutes so it chills back up, making it easier to handle.
- Slice the apples thinly and evenly so that they cook through in the oven at the same time.
- They should be golden brown and puffed up, on both sides (you can flip one to check). The apple slices will be tender and cooked through if you poke one with a fork.
- I used a standard firm red apple, but you can also use Granny Smith apples, pink lady, really any apples you like!
- You can swap out the apples for pears or do a mixture of both.
- Leave out the nuts if you prefer
