Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets frozen puff pastry sheets
- 0.5 cup apricot jam
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Dust a clean surface lightly with flour and roll out both puff pastry sheets into rectangles roughly 10x12 inches.
Spread the apricot jam evenly across one sheet of puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the jam-coated pastry.
Place the second puff pastry sheet on top of the first one, gently pressing them together to seal.
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the layered pastry into 1-inch-wide strips.
Take each strip and twist it several times to create a spiral design, then transfer the twists to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes or until the twists are golden brown and puffed up.
While the twists are baking, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Remove the twists from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
Drizzle the glaze generously over the slightly warm twists, allowing it to set for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve your Puff Pastry Glazed Apricot Twists fresh and enjoy!
