Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• Puff pastry: 500 g (store-bought or homemade)

• Apples: 2 medium, peeled and grated

• Sugar: 20 g (adjust to taste)

• Cinnamon: 5 g (about 1 teaspoon)

• Melted butter: about 20 g (optional, for extra softness)

• Lemon zest: from half a lemon (optional, to enhance the flavor)

Directions

1. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, mix grated apples with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon zest if using. Add melted butter for extra flavor if desired.

2. Spread the pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a flat surface and spread the apple mixture evenly over it.

3. Roll and cut: Roll the pastry into a tight log and slice into 2–3 cm pieces.

4. Bake: Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking tray, leaving space between them. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown.

5. Finish: Dust with powdered sugar right after baking for a sweet finishing touch.
