How to Make Baked Apples

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Thaw one sheet of puff pastry (14.1 oz) according to package directions.
  3. Core and peel 4 medium apples (about 2 lbs total). Do not slice.

  5. Place each apple on a separate sheet of puff pastry, cut into 4 squares.
  6. Fill the center of each apple with the cinnamon sugar mixture.

  9. In a small bowl, whisk 1 large egg.
  10. Brush the egg wash over the pastry.
  11. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender.
