Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 2 medium Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small pieces.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and the sugar forms a syrup. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares, giving you 8 squares total.
Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the caramel apple filling into the center of each puff pastry square.
Fold the corners of each square toward the center, pinching the edges together to seal and form a dumpling. Place the dumplings on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side up.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to make an egg wash. Brush the top of each dumpling with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and flaky.
Drizzle the warm dumplings with caramel sauce before serving.
