Units
Scale
- 1 Sheet Puff Pastry, thawed
- 2 Apples, cored (Recommend Granny Smith or other Pie Apple)
- 1 Tbsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- 1/2 Lemon, juiced and zested
- 1/2 cup Golden Raisins
- 1 Egg
- 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Using a mandoline, thinly slice the apples into a large bowl. Cover sliced apples with cinnamon, sugar, lemon and golden raisins. Stir to make sure that all apples are evenly coated.
- Using a rolling pin, roll out the thawed pastry into a 11×17 inch rectangle on a floured surface. Pour the apples into the middle 1/3 of the puff pastry.
- Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut 1″ wide strips into the remaining edges of the puff pastry, moving from the sides of the puff pastry, towards the center where the apples are.
- Fold the edge at the puff pastry over the apples, and then taking one strip at a time, fold over the apples. Take one strip from one side, and one from the opposite, mimicking a braid. Once you reach the end of the braid, gently tuck any remaining bits of puff pastry into the braid.
- In a small dish, whisk egg with 1 Tablespoon of water. Brush the puff pastry with the egg wash.
- Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes until the puff pastry is deep golden brown. If the pastry is browning too quickly, lightly tent with aluminum foil.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet. Slice into 6 diagonal slices and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve warm with ice cream for an al a mode treat, or just devour.
