Recipe Added:  3/17/2012
1 Tbsp butter
1 large apple
3 Tbsp brown sugar
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
1 egg
1 Tbsp milk
2 tsp sugar
 Whipped Cream
3/4 cup whipping cream
3 Tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup caramel sauce, warmed
Preheat oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Place medium skillet over medium low heat. Melt butter. Peel, core and thinly slice apple. Place into warm butter with sugar, cinnamon and dash of salt. Cook until apple slices have softened, about 7 minutes. Sprinkle clean work surface with flour. Roll out puff pastry to a 10x10 square and seal the edges from where it was folded. Cut into 4 even squares.

Place equal amounts of cooked apples into the center of each puff pastry square. Whisk egg and milk in small bowl and brush onto the edges of puff pastry to help seal. Bring the opposite corners up and seal together at the top. Press the edges together to seal completely. Press the dough against finger with a fork to seal. Brush the tops with more egg wash and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp of sugar each. Bake 13-15 minutes until golden brown.

While apple puffs are baking, whip cream on high speed with sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Warm caramel sauce in microwave. Remove apple puffs from the oven and cool 5 minutes. Place large dollop of cream over each warm apple puff and drizzle caramel sauce over top.
