What do you do on a lazy and gloomy Saturday afternoon? I bake!!  Two apples, a sheet of puff pastry and minimal other ingredients and you instantly have a delightful dessert!  Or dinner, which was almost the case here. 😉

Defrost your puff pastry (I prefer Pepperidge Farm), heat oven to 400 degrees (or per package instructions) and cut your apples into bite size chunks.

Two apples is all you need!

Chunked Apple

In a medium-sized saucepan, over medium heat, melt butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and cinnamon. Add apples and cook until softened. Sorry, no measurements here. I eyed it. 🙂

Cooked Apples

Remove apples from heat and let cool slightly.  Add apples to middle section of puff pastry, fold ends up and sides in. Brush with melted butter and bake @ 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until golden.

Ready for the oven!

Let cool.

For a decadent touch, dust with confectioners’ sugar and drizzle with caramel topping! 🙂
