Ingredients You'll Need
1/2 of a 17.3 oz. pkg. Frozen Puff Pastry Sheets (1 sheet)
1 egg
1 tbsp. water
2 tbsp. granulated sugar
1 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
2 tbsp. raisins
Confectioners' sugar (optional)
Directions
Thaw the pastry sheet at room temperature for 40 minutes or until it's easy to handle.
Heat the oven to 375'F.
Lightly grease a baking sheet.
Stir the egg and water in a small bowl.
Mix the sugar, flour and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
Add the apples and raisins and toss to coat.
Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
Roll the sheet into a 16x12-inch rectangle.
With the short side facing you, spoon the apple mixture onto the bottom half of the pastry to within 1 inch of the edges.
Starting at the short side closest to you, roll up like a jelly roll.
Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Tuck ends under to seal.
Brush with the egg mixture.
Cut several 2-inch long slits 2 inches apart on the top.
Bake for 35 minutes or until golden.
Cool on the baking sheet on a wire rack for 30 minutes.
Slice and serve warm.
Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, if desired.
