Ingredients
  

2 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon butter, melted

1 package (8 oz) puff pastry sheets (thawed if frozen)

1 egg (for egg wash)

1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)

Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Apple Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, lemon juice, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter. Toss until the apples are well coated.

      Roll Out the Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to smooth out any creases. Cut the pastry into even squares, about 4x4 inches.

        Assemble the Squares: Take a square of puff pastry and place a generous tablespoon of the apple mixture in the center. Fold the corners of the pastry square towards the center, pinching to seal the filling inside.

          Prepare for Baking: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create the egg wash. Brush the tops of each sealed puff square with the egg wash for a golden finish.

            Bake: Place the squares on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.

              Cool and Dust: Once baked, remove the squares from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

                Serve: Enjoy your Baked Apple Cinnamon Puff Squares warm, possibly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra treat!
