Caramel Apple Puff Pastry Recipe

by

Tips for Perfect Results

  1. Choose the Right Apples: Use firm apples like Granny Smith for tartness or Honeycrisp for sweetness. Avoid overly soft apples like Red Delicious.

  2. Don’t Overfill: Too much apple filling can cause the pastry to burst open.

  3. Seal Well: Use a fork to crimp edges and prevent caramel from leaking.

  4. Chill Before Baking: For extra flaky pastry, chill the assembled pastries in the fridge for 10 minutes before baking.

  5. Homemade Caramel: If you have time, homemade caramel sauce elevates the flavor dramatically.

Variations

  • Open-Faced Tarts: Instead of sealing pastries, simply spoon apple filling onto pastry squares and bake as open tarts.

  • Apple & Cream Cheese: Spread a thin layer of sweetened cream cheese on pastry before adding apples.

  • Nutty Twist: Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the filling.

  • Salted Caramel: Use salted caramel sauce for a sweet-salty flavor explosion.

  • Mini Hand Pies: Cut pastry smaller and make handheld versions, perfect for parties.
