Ingredients (Makes 8–10 rolls):
- 500g puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 medium apples, peeled and grated 🍏
- 20g sugar (adjust to taste) 🍬
- 5g ground cinnamon (about 1 teaspoon) 🌿
- 20g melted butter (optional, for brushing before baking) 🧈
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) .
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare the Apple Filling
While the oven preheats, grate the peeled apples using the coarse side of a box grater.
Place the grated apple in a bowl and toss with sugar and cinnamon until evenly coated.
Set aside while you roll out the pastry.
Step 3: Roll Out the Pastry
Unroll the puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface.
Using a rolling pin, gently roll it into a rectangle about ¼-inch thick .
Step 4: Fill and Roll
Evenly spread the apple mixture over the pastry, leaving about an inch clear around the edges.
Starting from one long side, carefully roll the pastry into a log shape. Pinch the seam to seal.
Step 5: Slice and Bake
Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled log into 1–1½ inch thick slices .
Place them cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
For extra flakiness and shine, brush the tops with melted butter .
Bake for 12–15 minutes , or until golden brown and puffed.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving—warm is best!
Enjoy as-is or dust with powdered sugar for a sweet finish.
Tips for Success:
- Use Cold Apples? No problem—just squeeze out excess moisture after grating to prevent soggy rolls.
- Add Nuts or Raisins: For more texture, mix in chopped walnuts or raisins with the apple filling.
- Double the Batch: These disappear fast! Make two rolls at once and freeze extras for later.
