Ingredients




2 tablespoons butter
2 baking apples, peeled and diced
2 shallots, chopped
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg or cinnamon
Salt and pepper
1 cup sharp grated cheddar
2 sheets puff pastry (1 box)
1 egg

Preparation

1 Preheat a skillet to medium-high. Saute the apples and shallots in butter for 3-5 minutes. Add the nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste. 2 Lay each piece of puff pastry on its own piece of parchment paper and roll them lightly. 3 Top both pieces with apple mixture and distribute evenly. Then top with them with shredded cheese. 4 Fold the pastry sheets inward ¼ of the width on both ends. Fold in again so that the dough meets in the middle. Fold one more time. 5 Wrap the rolls in the paper and put the rolls in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to chill before cutting. (Wrap them well if you are prepping ahead). 6 When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Carefully slice each roll into 12-15 ½ inch slices and lay flat on parchment paper lined baking sheets. Whisk the egg and brush it over the tops. Bake for 12-14 minutes. 7 Cool before lifting! Makes 24-30.
