Palmiers

Happy Valentine’s Day! I found this great idea on a blog called “Art of Dessert”! Such a cute gift for anyone you love!

 

Ingredients:

1 box frozen puff pastry, thawed 2 hours

granulated sugar

sweetened flaked coconut

 

The puff pastry will need 2 hours to thaw before use. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat baking mat.

Unfold one sheet puff pastry onto a clean surface. Sprinkle generously with sugar, then sprinkle with coconut. Roll both sides of puff pastry toward center until touching. Slightly press sides together. Sprinkle with sugar. Repeat with second puff pastry sheet. Using a sharp knife, slice into 1/4 inch pieces. Transfer to baking sheet and pinch together 1/2 inch of dough at the bottom to form a heart. Bake for 5 minutes or until slightly browned on top. Remove from oven and carefully flip pastry over. Bake for another 5 minutes. Cool before serving.

Perfect recipe for Fall!

Ingredients:

1 box (2 sheets) frozen puff pastry, thawed 2 hours

3 granny smith apples, peeled and diced

1/3 cup sugar

1 tbsp butter or butter substitute, I prefer Benecol

2 tbsp brown sugar

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/8 tsp nutmeg

 

The puff pastry will need 2 hours to thaw before use. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

To prepare the filling, add apples, butter, and sugars to a skillet over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring continuously for 4-5 minutes. Add cinnamon and nutmeg, combine and cook 1 minute. Remove from heat. Lay puff pastry sheet out on lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 squares. Spoon apple mixture into the center of each pastry square and fold pastry over into a triangle shape. Use a fork to press and seal edges together. Use a sharp knife to cut two small holes in the top center so steam can be released. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Place each pastry 1-2 inches apart. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until pastry slightly browned. Cool 20-30 minutes before serving.
