Apple and Cinnamon Palmiers
These apple and cinnamon palmiers are crisp, buttery swirls with just the right hint of sweetness. Store-bought puff pastry does most of the work, while a quick apple-cinnamon filling brings cozy flavor to every flaky bite. They’re light, golden, and come together faster than you'd expect. A great way to bring a touch of bakery charm to your oven bakes.

Ingredients
Measurements:
½ cup (3½ oz) superfine sugar
2½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp kosher salt
1 pink lady applepeeled, cut into 1/8-inch pieces
1 sheet frozen puff pastry(9½-inch square)
1 oz unsalted buttermelted
Instructions
- 1Combine the sugar, cinnamon and salt in a bowl. Add the apple and mix to combine.
- 2Lay the pastry on a sheet of parchment paper. Brush with the butter and spread with the apple mixture.
- 3Mark the center of the pastry and ½-inch on either side, then at the quarter points. Using the markings as a guide, fold over one edge of the pastry to the quarter point, then fold again towards the center leaving a ½-inch space from the center mark. Repeat on the other side and fold in half.
- 4Insert the wire rack into position 5. Set the oven to Bake, Convection, 385°F, for 14 minutes, enable Rotate Remind and press Start to preheat. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
- 5Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Cut the pastry into 16 pieces approximately ¾-inch thick. Place 8 pieces, cut side up, evenly spaced apart in the pan. Place the remaining palmiers in the refrigerator while cooking.
- 6Once preheated, place the pan in the oven and bake for 14 minutes. When the Rotate Remind signals, use a spatula to turn the palmiers over and continue cooking.
- 7The palmiers should be golden and crisp. If not, bake them a little longer.
- 8Cool the palmiers in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Reline the pan with parchment paper and repeat with the remaining palmiers.
- 9Once cooled, the palmiers are ready to serve. They’re crisp on the edges, tender in the center, and smell like a warm spiced breeze fresh from the oven! Tip: Palmiers will keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
