Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry thawed
  • 1.5 cups apples peeled, cored, and finely diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar packed
  • 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon ground
  • 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg ground
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 0.5 cup caramel sauce store-bought or homemade
  • 1 large egg beaten, for egg wash
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar for sprinkling (optional)

Method
 

Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Stir until apples are evenly coated. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  3. Unfold the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll it slightly to smooth seams. Cut into 12 equal squares (about 3x3 inches each).
  4. Place about 1 tablespoon of the apple mixture into the center of each square. Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon of caramel sauce over the apples.
  5. Fold the corners of each square up and over the filling, pinching gently to seal into a small pouch. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Brush the tops of the bites with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
  7. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Let cool slightly before serving.
  8. Drizzle extra caramel sauce over the warm bites just before serving.

Notes

For best results, serve immediately while warm. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5–7 minutes to restore crispness.
