Puff Pastry Apple Rings Inspired by The Little Green Hen

Inspired by that orchard of shining apples, I thought I’d share a recipe that celebrates the same spirit: Puff Pastry Apple Rings. They’re light, golden, and just sweet enough — perfect for storytime snacking. 

Puff Pastry Apple Rings
Ingredients

1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)

2 medium apples (firm, like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)

1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)

3 tbsp sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

Slice apples into rings about ¼-inch thick, removing the core with a small cutter or knife. 

Toss each apple ring in the cinnamon and sugar mix.

Roll out puff pastry slightly. Cut into strips about ½ inch wide.

Take each apple slice and gently wrap with 2 strips of puff pastry, spiraling around until the apple is covered.

Place wrapped rings on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18–20 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
