Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400°F. In a bowl, combine the apples, sugar, Apple Pie Spice, salt and flour. Set aside.
• Roll out the puff pastry. Use a rolling pin to create a 12X12 square. Lightly score the dough in thirds to create guidelines – a center section and right and left side sections. Cut horizontal strips into the dough on the left and right sides, keeping the center third in tact.
• Move the dough to a parchment-lined sheet pan. Spread the apple mixture over the center section. Fold the strips over the apples, alternating from right to left, to create a braided effect. Move to the fridge for 20 mins.
• Remove from the fridge, and brush the pastry with egg wash. Bake for 25-35 mins or until golden brown. If the pastry is getting too brown before the apples are fully cooked, tent the pan with foil. Then remove the foil for the last 3 minutes of baking.
• Rest the pastry for about 10 mins before cutting. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
