Ingredients
1frozen puff pastry
1apple, peeled and chopped
3tbsp.brown sugar
1tsp.vanilla extract
½tsp. cinnamon
8oz.cream cheese
1cuppowdered sugar
⅓cupheavy cream
Melted butter (1-2 tbsp)
Instructions
Cook apples, brown sugar, vanilla,and cinnamon in a saute pan over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and heavy cream until smooth.
Fold your puff pastry into thirds and then lay out flat on a baking sheet. If you made your own, cut into a large rectangle.
Cut slits on each side of your pastry, pointed upwards diagonally, in ½ inch increments.
Generously spread cheesecake mixture over the middle third, tuck in the top and bottom flap, and then “braid” up each pastry piece, alternating, until you get to the end.
Brush with butter, and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden and fluffy.
