This delicious apple pecan pastry recipe is ideal for breakfast, dessert, snacks, or just about any time of the day. Find this tasty pastry recipe here.
Fresh pastries are a favorite treat of mine.
The best part about pastries is that you can really fill them with whatever fruit flavor you are craving.
Today I am going to show you how I make a super simple apple pecan pastry that is perfect for fall weather.
Ingredients You'll Need For This Recipe:

- 3 Granny Smith Apples
- 1 cup Butter
- 2 Sheets of Frozen Puff Pastry
- 1 cup chopped Pecans
- 1 Egg beat with 1 Tbsp of Water
- ¼ teaspoon Cinnamon
- ¼ cup Sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon Nutmeg
- Caramel and Vanilla Ice Cream (optional)
This makes 18 individual servings.
Cutting the Puff Pastry:
Pull the Puff Pastry out of the freezer and let it defrost according to the package directions.
Once defrosted unfold the puff pastry sheet and roll it out just a bit with a rolling pin.
Cut the pastry into squares. You should have 9 squares per sheet of Puff Pastry.
Place the squares onto some parchment paper on a baking sheet.
Next, brush the center of your puff pastry squares with your egg wash. Do not brush the sides of the puff pastry because it will not rise.
Combining the Apple Mixture:
Peel, core, and thinly slice your green apples.
Place the apples in a bowl with chopped pecans and stir with the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until everything is nicely coated.
Creating the Pastry:
Place about ¼ cup of the apple mixture in the center of each puff pastry square.
Grab a stick of butter and slice it into 1 tablespoon slices. Then cut each of those in half.
Place a cube of butter on the top of each puff pastry.
While in the oven the butter will melt over the cinnamon/sugar coated apples. This will help cook the apples and will melt with the cinnamon sugar to make a yummy sauce!
Bake:
Preheat the oven to 400°.
Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Optional Ice Cream:
You could serve the pastry as is, or my favorite way is to add a scoop of ice cream on top.
So delicious!
Our Baking Essential List:
- For baking casseroles, we use Glass Baking Dishes. I especially like the dishes with lids so leftovers can be transferred straight to the fridge.
- Silicone Kitchenware is my favorite because they don't scratch my cookware and is easy to clean!
- A Glass Cutting Board is a must to prepare all of those ingredients. We even keep ours on our counter at all times.
- This Knife Set will also become your favorite! They cut beautifully, and with the hollow design of the knife, food doesn't stick to the blade.

just popping over from the Say Not Sweet Anne Sweet Sharing Monday Link Party. These apple pecan pastries look really yummy! I really like what happens in the oven when I use puff pastry! I have no doubt that these disappear rather rapidly! I have pinned, liked and tweeted, and g+-ed. I would love it if you would drop by my site at http://www.kneadedcreations.com for a short visit! I will look forward to seeing you there! Deb @ Kneaded Creations.

Can you make this ahead of time? Like the night before
Reply
Summer Rumsey
I think you could make it the night before. It is good at room temperature or throw it in the microwave for about 30 seconds to warm up.

Can't wait to try your Appleecan Pastry! Just one question, after you place the apples on the pastry, do you leave it flat? Thanks so much
Reply
Summer Scraps
Hi Sharon! Yes I leave it flat. It puffs up as it bakes. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!
