Puff Pastry Apple Dumplings
Cinnamon-sugar apples wrapped in puff pastry and baked to golden perfection!
Ingredients
- 3 Granny Smith apples
- 1 package frozen puff pastry
- 1 egg beaten
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 3 Tbsp. plain breadcrumbs
- 2 1/2 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
- caramel sauce garnish, optional
Streusel Topping
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 Tbsp. unsalted butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Peel, core and chop the apples.
- Combine cinnamon, sugar, nutmeg and bread crumbs in a large bowl. Toss the apples in the cinnamon mixture. Set aside.
- Roll out the first puff pastry sheet into a large rectangle. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut into 4 equal squares. Use a pastry brush to brush each square with beaten egg. Place a few spoonfuls of the apple mixture in the center of each pastry square. Fold opposite corners in towards the middle, overlapping the corners over top of the apples.
- Brush the outside of each dumpling with the egg wash. Repeat this process with the second puff pastry sheet, so that you have a total of 8 dumplings.
- Coat an 8x8 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange the dumplings in the baking dish.
- Melt butter in a microwave safe dish. Combine the melted butter with the remaining streusel ingredients in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the tops of the dumplings. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees. Bake an additional 25-30 minutes.
- Drizzle with caramel sauce, if desired.
