Apple Cheddar Twists

Ingredients

• 2 large apples
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 package puff pastry , 14 ounce
• 6 ounces Cheddar cheese , grated
• 1 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Grate apples into a bowl and toss with lemon juice.

2. 2

   Add butter and brown sugar to a pan over medium-high heat. As butter melts, give the mixture a stir and add the apple.

3. 3

   Cook, stirring, until apples are as browned as you like and most of the liquid is evaporated, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate, and let cool, then refrigerate until very cold, about 20 minutes.

4. 4

   Separate puff pastry, without thawing, along the seams to get 4 equally sized rectangles. Top 2 rectangles with chilled apple mixture, and spread evenly to the edges.

5. 5

   Top each rectangle evenly with about 2 ounces grated Cheddar, saving about 2 ounces for the tops. Align remaining 2 rectangles on top and flatten with your hand. Freeze for 10 to 15 minutes.

6. 6

   Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment.

7. 7

   Cut each rectangle into 6 pieces. As soon as they are flexible enough to work with, start in the center, twist each strip a few times, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Top with remaining grated cheese, and sprinkle lightly with salt.

8. 8

   Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and puffy, 25 to 30 minutes.
