Prepare the Apples

• Peel and core the apples, then slice them thinly to ensure even cooking.
• In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
• Add the apple slices, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Stir well to coat the apples evenly.
• Cook for 5–7 minutes until the apples are soft and caramelized. Set aside.

Make the Caramel Sauce

• In a separate saucepan, combine granulated sugar, water, lemon juice, and salt.
• Heat over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
• Stop stirring and let the mixture cook until it turns a golden caramel color. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Prepare the Puff Pastry

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and flatten it slightly with a rolling pin.
• Cut the puff pastry into squares or rectangles, depending on your desired serving size.
• Place the cut puff pastry pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Assemble and Bake

• Place a spoonful of the caramelized apple mixture in the center of each puff pastry square.
• Drizzle a small amount of the prepared caramel sauce over the apples for added flavor.
• Bake the puff pastry squares in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed.

Whip the Cream

• In a chilled mixing bowl, add the whipping cream and powdered sugar.
• Use an electric mixer to beat the cream until soft peaks form.
• If desired, whip additional cream for garnishing.

Serve and Garnish

• Remove the puff pastries from the oven and let them cool slightly.
• Add a dollop of whipped cream on top of each pastry.
• Garnish with extra caramel sauce, additional whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon. Serve warm and enjoy!
