Apple Puff Pastry Scrolls
Ingredients
For the Pastry

For the Apple Filling
- 4 red apples, large
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

- 2 egg yolks
For Garnish
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar, as needed, for dusting

Unroll the puff pastry sheet onto a piece of parchment paper. Lightly roll it with a rolling pin to ensure even thickness. Trim the edges with a pastry wheel or pizza cutter to create neat, straight edges, forming a clean rectangular shape.

Core the apples using an apple corer. Cut the cored apples into smaller pieces, then grate them using a large-holed box grater. Place the shredded apples into a medium bowl.

Add the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon to the grated apples. Mix thoroughly with a fork until the sugar and cinnamon are evenly distributed throughout the apple mixture.
⏱️ 3 min

Spread the apple filling evenly over the entire surface of the rectangular puff pastry sheet, leaving a small border (about 1/2 inch) around the edges.
⏱️ 2 min

Starting from both of the long edges, carefully roll the puff pastry inwards towards the center. Continue rolling until the two scrolls meet in the middle, creating a single log with two parallel scrolls.

Using a sharp knife, and optionally using the tines of a fork to mark even intervals, cut the long double-scroll into 8-10 individual portions, each about 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick. Each portion will form a 'double scroll' or 'heart-shaped' pastry.
⏱️ 3 min

Place the individual apple scrolls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each pastry. In a small bowl, beat the two egg yolks to create an egg wash. Brush the tops and sides of each pastry with the beaten egg yolk.
⏱️ 2 min

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed.

Once baked, remove the pastries from the oven. Let them cool slightly on the baking sheet. Generously dust with powdered sugar using a small sieve. For presentation, garnish with fresh mint leaves and red currants, if desired. Serve warm.
