Apple Cinnamon Pastry Donuts
These Apple Cinnamon Pastry Donuts are filled with fresh apple slices, surrounded by puff pastry, covered in cinnamon sugar, drizzled with caramel sauce, and topped with a cinnamon stick and edible maple leaf.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Package Puff Pastry (2 sheets), room temperature
- 2-3 Apples
- 1/2 Cup White Sugar
- 1/2 Tablespoons Cinnamon
- 2 Tablespoons Melted Butter
Toppings, optional
Instructions
- First, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Next, gently roll out the puff pastry and use a pizza cutter to cut it into long strips. Each strip should be about 1/2 inch wide.
- Mix 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon on a plate. Set to the side.
- Slice your apple (~1/2 inch thick) and use a small cookie cutter to cut a hole in the center of the apple.
- Place each apple slice in the cinnamon sugar mixture, fully coating each side.
- Wrap puff pastry strips around each apple slice to cover each one fully.*
- Place each puff pastry-wrapped apple slice on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the top of each puff pastry-wrapped apple slice with melted butter and sprinkle the extra cinnamon sugar onto each one.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes
- Use a knife to cut a small hole in each Apple Cinnamon Pastry Donut and place a cinnamon stick and an edible leaf in it.
- Serve with caramel sauce and ice cream (or granola for breakfast/brunch)
Notes
- I tried two wrapping techniques for these Apple Cinnamon Pastry Donuts. The first way is to pull it a bit (gently), to stretch it as you wrap the apple slice. This makes the puff pastry last longer so you can make more. The second way is not to pull on it as you wrap the apple slice, and this creates a more puffy Apple Cinnamon Pastry Donut. I personally like the second way better (the puffier puff pastry), but the first way is a great alternative to make the pastry last longer so you can make a few extra.
