Recipe Details:

• Prep Time: 5 minutes

• Cook Time: 18 minutes

• Total Time: 23 minutes

• Servings: 10 rolls

Ingredients:

• 1 sheet of ready-rolled puff pastry

• 200 ml apple sauce (pureed apples)

• 1 apple, finely sliced

• 2 figs, finely sliced

• 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

• 1 tbsp milk or nut milk

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pastry:

   • Unroll the puff pastry sheet onto a flat surface. Spread the apple sauce evenly across the surface, leaving about one inch clear along the bottom edge of the longer side.

2. Add Fruits:

   • Finely slice the apple and figs, ensuring to keep the slices thin and even. Arrange these slices neatly over the layer of apple sauce.

3. Season:

   • Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the sliced fruits, adding a warm and spicy aroma.

4. Seal the Edge:

   • Dip your finger or a pastry brush in milk or nut milk, and moisten the inch of pastry you left clear at the bottom. This will help seal the roll.

5. Form the Roll:

   • Start from the top long edge opposite the milk-brushed edge and gently roll the pastry towards the bottom edge. Press down on the moistened edge to seal the pastry into a log shape.

6. Slice and Bake:

   • Cut the log into 10 equal pieces. Place each piece on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush a little more milk on top of each roll to give a nice golden finish when baked.

   • Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 18 minutes until golden and puffed up.

7. Cool and Serve:

   • Allow the rolls to cool on the tray for about 10 minutes before serving. This rest time helps the flavors meld together beautifully.

8. Storage:

   • Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container. They will keep well for up to 3 days.

Enjoy these delicious Fig and Apple Puff Pastry Rolls as a tasty snack or a sweet end to any meal!
