Puff Wrapped Caramel Apples

Instructions


1. Take out a package of Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Sheets and remove one from the box. Let it thaw on the counter for 40 minutes - or overnight in the fridge. Return the second to the freezer.

2. Preheat the oven to 400F.

3. Stir together the cinnamon and sugar in a shallow bowl.

4. Make an egg wash for the pastry by beating an egg with one tablespoon of water in a small bowl with a fork or whisk.

5. Using a melon baller, scoop the cores out of the peeled apples from the top, making sure to leave the bottoms intact.

6. Coat the apples with the cinnamon mixture and spoon 2 tablespoons of the caramel sauce into the center of each apple.

7. Lightly flour your surface and unfold one pastry sheet. Roll the pastry sheet into a 10x9-inch rectangle. Cut it into 9 (1x10-inch) strips.

8. Take 2 of the strips and press the ends together to make one 20-inch strip. Repeat this with 6 of the remaining pastry strips. Cut 8 leaf shapes from the last pastry strip.

9. Wrap the apples with the pastry strips--starting at the bottom, wind 1 pastry strip around 1 apple, slightly overlapping the edges of the pastry. Top each with 2 pastry leaves.

10. Brush the pastries with the egg mixture and place the apples onto a baking sheet.

11. Bake for 25 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
