These easy caramel apple pastries are buttery, flaky, and filled with warm spiced apples, perfect for a quick fall dessert made in just 35 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Coarse sugar, for sprinkling
  • Caramel sauce, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and lemon juice. Cook for 5–7 minutes until apples are soft.
  3. Stir in cornstarch and cook another 1–2 minutes until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Roll out puff pastry and cut into 6 equal squares. Add a spoonful of apple filling to the center of each square.
  5. Fold corners of pastry toward the center and pinch gently to seal. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until golden brown and puffed.
  7. Drizzle with caramel sauce once slightly cooled and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use firm apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for best texture.
  • Don’t overfill the pastry to avoid leakage.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for crispiness.
  • Add crushed walnuts or pecans before baking for extra crunch.
  • Serve with vanilla yogurt, whipped cream, or spiced chai latte.
