Ingredients

  • 4 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled
  • 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar⠀
  • 1 sheet ready rolled puff pastry⠀
  • 1 egg, beaten⠀
  • 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce⠀

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C ( Gas Mark 6)
  2. Using a melon baller, scoop the cores out of the apples from the top, making sure to leave the bottoms intact. Next, coat the apples with the cinnamon sugar.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, unfold the pastry sheet. Cut into 9 strips, about 2 centimetres wide. Then, cut leaf shapes from 1 of the pastry strips.
  4. Starting at the bottom of an apple, wind 1 pastry strip up and around the outside, slightly overlapping the edges of the pastry. Repeat with a second pastry strip and secure at the top. Continue to cover the remaining apples
  5. Top each apple with 2 pastry ‘leaves’. Brush the pastries with the egg wash.
  6. On a baking sheet, place the pastries and spoon 2 tablespoons caramel sauce into each apple.
    Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve the pastries with the ice cream of your choice.
