Ingredients

Ring-Arounds

  • 1 lb honeycrisp apples, sliced
  • 1 package (2 sheets) puff pastry
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg

Glaze

  • 1 teaspoon milk
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375° F (190° C) to prepare for baking the apple ring-arounds.
  2. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon evenly to create the cinnamon sugar mixture for coating the apples and pastries.
  3. Slice Apples: Cut the honeycrisp apples vertically into 1/2-inch thick slices, then core out the center to form rings suitable for wrapping.
  4. Cut Puff Pastry: Take the two puff pastry sheets and cut them into 1-inch wide strips that will be used to wrap around the apple slices.
  5. Coat Apple Slices: Coat each apple ring thoroughly with the prepared cinnamon sugar, ensuring a flavorful layer on the fruit.
  6. Wrap Apple Rings: Starting with one puff pastry strip, wrap it around the center of each apple slice, covering the apple ring completely. If needed, use additional strips to cover larger slices.
  7. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the wrapped apple ring-arounds onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick liner, spacing them evenly.
  8. Egg Wash and Sprinkle: Beat the egg to create an egg wash, then brush it over each wrapped apple ring. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar on top for extra sweetness and color.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the puff pastry is golden and crisp.
  10. Prepare Glaze: While baking, mix the powdered sugar with milk in a small bowl until you reach a smooth, drizzleable consistency.
  11. Cool and Glaze: Once baked, allow the ring-arounds to cool slightly before drizzling the powdered sugar glaze over the top to finish.
  12. Serve: Enjoy these warm, sweet apple treats as a satisfying dessert or snack.

Notes

  • Use firm, crisp apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for the best texture.
  • If puff pastry sheets are frozen, thaw them thoroughly before cutting and wrapping.
  • Ensure apple slices are dried if washed to help the cinnamon sugar stick better.
  • The egg wash helps give the pastry a beautiful golden color and adds shine.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of cinnamon sugar to taste or substitute with brown sugar for a richer flavor.
  • The glaze consistency can be adjusted by adding more milk for a thinner glaze or more powdered sugar for a thicker glaze.
