Notes
Use a mixture of tart and sweet apples for the best flavor and texture. Don't skip the egg wash for that beautiful golden finish! If you want a gluten-free version, use gluten-free puff pastry. For a bit of a twist, try adding pears or other fruits to the filling. This dessert can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat individual slices for optimal enjoyment.
