Ingredients
  

1 pre-made puff pastry sheet (thawed)

1 medium apple (preferably Granny Smith), cored and thinly sliced

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)

Flour (for dusting)

Sea salt (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth it out. Cut the puff pastry into rectangles, about 3 inches by 6 inches.

      Mix the Apple Filling: In a small bowl, combine the sliced apples with brown sugar and cinnamon. Toss until the apples are well-coated.

        Assemble the Twists: Take one rectangle of puff pastry and place a few slices of the coated apples down the center. Top with a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese. Fold the pastry edges over the filling, pressing down to seal. Then, carefully twist the edges to create a spiral effect.

          Apply Egg Wash: Place the twists on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

            Sprinkle with Sea Salt: Lightly sprinkle sea salt over the twists to enhance the flavors.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the twists are golden brown and puffed up.

                Cool and Serve: Allow the twists to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm, and enjoy the irresistible combination of sweet apple and sharp cheddar!
