Caramel Apple Puff Pastries

I adore apple recipes and this is such a tasty way to highlight that apple flavor without spending much time in the kitchen at all.

I created these Caramel Apple Puff Pastries a few years ago when the summer sun was blazing down and I was dreaming of fall weather.

How To Make Caramel Apple Puff Pastries

Like most puff pastry recipes, these come together quickly. Just set the puff pastry on the counter to thaw while you slice some apples.

Then layer the apples on squares of puff pastry, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, and bake. When they come out of the oven, drizzle with caramel and serve with ice cream if desired.

Puff Pastry Desserts

There is nothing quite like the ease of using a package of puff pastry to create a memorable dessert in just minutes.

An easy, but elegant, brunch idea, Puff Pastry Cream Cheese Danishes are delicate, pretty, and tasty. These danishes can be made in any flavor you like. Chocolate chips, raspberries, and blueberries are my favorite choices for fillings. Use whatever fillings sound best to you!

Puff Pastry Turnovers highlight a pumpkin filling that will remind you of pumpkin pie. Wrapped in flaky pastry and drizzled with a brown butter glaze, these pastries are a fall favorite.

Palmiers are light, airy, buttery sugar sprinkled cookies that only require two ingredients. Palmiers, Elephant Ears, French Hearts, Palm Leaves: whatever you like to call them, these cookies are in the running for my all-time favorite treat.

Chocolate Bear Claws are a delicious treat to go along with breakfast or brunch any weekend. And if you’re anything like my husband, these chocolate bear claws make for great snacking any time of day.
