Ingredients

Scale
  • 2  sheets puff pastry, thawed according to package directions
  • 1 Jar Weaver’s Orchard Apple Butter
  •  1/4 cup granulated sugar
  •  1 tbsp  ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. On a lightly floured surface, unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets. Spread apple butter on top of both sheets, using a spoon to ensure an even layer. 
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the mixture on top of the apple butter, reserving some for later.
  3. Fold both long  sides inward until they are just barely touching in the center. Sprinkle another 1 tablespoon of cinnamon sugar on top of the exposed pastry. Then, fold one side over the other side, closing like a book. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. 
  5. Slice the dough into 3/4-inch pieces. Tip: Use a serrated knife and a very gentle sawing motion, with no pressing at all so you don’t squeeze any filling out. Sprinkle  each piece with the remaining cinnamon sugar and place on the baking sheet 2 inches apart, laying them cut side up. Make sure you don’t put them too close together, or they won’t have room to puff  completely! 
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until puffed and golden. Cool for 2 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature. Best eaten the day they are made but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days or 5 days in the refrigerator.
