Spiced Apple Puff Pastry Twists

1. Preheat oven to 200ºC bake and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
2. Spread both of the pastry sheets with Barker’s Cinnamon Apple Scroll Spread, all the way to the edges. Sprinkle apple and chocolate (if using) evenly over one of the pastry sheets. Place the second pastry sheet on top, spread-side down, and gently press down.
3. Slice in half, then cut each half into 8 short strips. Twist each strip several times, making sure to seal the ends firmly together. Place on prepared tray.
4. Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water and brush lightly over the pastry twists. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Freeze for 5 minutes (or refrigerate for 15 minutes) before baking.
5. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown and puffed. Leave to cool on trays for a few minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack. Dust with icing sugar before serving. Delicious slightly warm but also great cold!

Tips

1. Choose an all butter puff pastry for superior flavour.
2. Try dipping in extra Barker’s Cinnamon Apple Scroll Spread (gently warmed for perfect dipping consistency!). Also great with whipped cream or custard.
3. These puff pastry twists work beautifully with all three of the Barker’s indulgent spreads: For Berry Brownie, omit apple and cinnamon, swap white chocolate for dark chocolate. For Banana Bread, omit apple, and swap white chocolate for milk chocolate.
4. Allergens: egg, gluten, wheat, milk.
