1 large apple, peeled and finely chopped or grated

2–3 tablespoons brown sugar (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, to prevent apple browning)

1 tablespoon butter, melted

Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Prepare the filling:
-
In a bowl, mix chopped apple, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
-
-
Prepare the puff pastry:
-
Roll out the sheet slightly to smooth it.
-
Brush with melted butter.
-
Evenly spread the apple-cinnamon mixture over the pastry.
-
-
Roll and slice:
-
Starting from one edge, carefully roll the pastry into a tight log.
-
Slice into 1–2 inch rolls and place them cut-side up on the baking sheet.
-
-
Egg wash:
-
Beat the egg and brush over the tops for a golden finish.
-
-
Bake:
-
Bake for 18–22 minutes until the rolls are puffed and golden brown.
-
-
Optional glaze:
-
Mix powdered sugar with a little milk or cream to make a drizzle. Pour over cooled rolls for extra sweetness.
-
💡 Tips:
-
Drain any excess liquid from the apples to avoid soggy pastry.
-
You can add a handful of raisins or chopped nuts for extra texture.
-
Serve warm—these are perfect with coffee or tea!
If you want, I can also give you a quick shortcut for a gooey, caramelized apple filling that makes these rolls taste bakery-level amazing. Do you want me to do that?
