Ingredients
500 g puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
2 medium apples, peeled and grated
20 g sugar (adjust to taste)
1 tsp (5 g) cinnamon
20 g melted butter (optional, for extra softness)
Zest of ½ lemon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Prepare filling: In a bowl, mix grated apples with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon zest. Stir in melted butter if using.
- Spread filling: Roll out puff pastry and spread the apple mixture evenly over it.
- Shape rolls: Roll pastry into a tight log and cut into 2–3 cm slices.
- Bake: Arrange slices on the prepared tray and bake for 20–25 minutes until golden.
- Finish: Dust with powdered sugar while still warm before serving.
Notes
- Add raisins, walnuts, or pecans for extra crunch and flavor.
- Freeze unbaked rolls and bake straight from frozen, adding a few minutes.
- Tart apples like Granny Smith or Golden work best for flavor balance.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce for indulgence.
