Step 1: Get Everything Ready Turn your oven to 400°F and put parchment paper on a baking sheet. Do this first because once you start, everything happens fast.

Step 2: Cut Up the Apple Wash your apple and cut it into rings about as thick as your finger. Use a small knife to cut out the core – you want clean circles. One apple usually gives me 4-6 good rings.

Step 3: Deal with the Pastry Take the puff pastry out of the fridge now, not before. Roll it just enough to get rid of the fold marks. Cut strips about an inch wide – they need to wrap around your apple rings.

Step 4: Wrap Everything Up Take each apple ring and wrap a pastry strip around it. Overlap the pastry a little and tuck the ends under. Put them on your baking sheet with the tucked part on the bottom.

Step 5: Make Them Pretty Beat your egg in a bowl and brush it on each ring. Don’t be stingy here. Mix your sugar and cinnamon in another bowl and sprinkle it all over everything.

Step 6: Bake Them Put them in for 18-22 minutes until they’re golden brown and puffy. Check at 18 minutes because some ovens run hot.

Step 7: Try Not to Eat Them All Let them cool for 5 minutes, then eat them while they’re still warm. After 5 minutes I have no self-control left.
