Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare apples: In a bowl, toss apple slices with sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and vanilla. Let sit 5 minutes.
  3. Roll out pastry: On a floured surface, roll puff pastry into a 10x10 inch square.
  4. Score edges: Use a knife to score a 1-inch border around the edge — do not cut through, just make an impression.
  5. Fill center: Mix apples with melted butter and nuts (if using). Spread inside the scored border.
  6. Egg wash (optional): Brush the border with beaten egg for golden color.
  7. Bake 20–25 minutes until puff pastry is puffed and golden brown.
  8. Cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar or coarse sugar.
  9. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Tip: Serve with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence!
