Indulge in the exquisite fusion of sweet caramel and the crisp, comforting embrace of apples with our Caramel Apple Braid. This culinary masterpiece is a celebration of autumn, artfully weaving together layers of buttery pastry, apple filling, and a decadent caramel drizzle.

Ingredients

1 sheet frozen puff pastry
1 (21 oz) can Lucky Leaf Caramel Apple Fruit Filling
1 Egg yolk
1 Tbsp. water
powdered sugar
2 Tbsp. salted butter
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 Tbsp. heavy cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Remove the puff pastry from the freezer and let it thaw for 15-20 minutes, or until cold but pliable. Unfold the puff pastry dough on a silicone baking mat and roll it out to a 11x19-inch rectangle. Use a pizza cutter to cut each side of the braid into 12 strips.
Step 2
Spoon the pie filling down the center of the braid. Fold the strips of dough over the filling, alternating sides.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush over the braid. Place the baking mat on a sheet pan and bake for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown and puffy on top.
Step 4
For the icing, place the butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the heavy cream and whisk until sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and stir in the powdered sugar. Drizzle the icing over the hot braid and serve immediately.
