For 6 portions

Ingredients

500 g puff pastry
3 apples (peeled and grated)
50 g sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 egg for brushing

Preparation procedure

Preparing the filling: Peel the apples, grate them coarsely and put into a bowl. Add the sugar and ground cinnamon, mix and let rest for a few minutes so they release juice and the flavors meld nicely.
Preparing the dough: Roll the puff pastry into a rectangle about 3–4 mm thick. Evenly spread the apple mixture over the surface, leaving about 1 cm free around the edges so the filling doesn't spill out during baking.
Shaping: Carefully roll the dough into a log and cut into slices about 2 cm thick. Transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Baking: Brush the slices with beaten egg and bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for 25–30 minutes, until golden.
Finishing: After removing from the oven, let the apple rolls cool briefly, then sprinkle them with powdered sugar. Serve still slightly warm – they taste best that way.

Flaky, fragrant and perfectly golden rolls that disappear from the tray before they cool.
