• Place the cranberries in a bowl and pour hot water to cover; let sit until plump (about 20 minutes).

• Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• In a small bowl whisk together egg and water; set aside.
• In a medium bowl combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, sliced apples, cranberrie (or raisins if using) juice from 1/2 lemon and lemon rind; toss to combine; set aside.
• Unfold the puff pastry onto a lightly-floured surface and roll into 16x12-inch rectangle.
• With the short end facing you, spoon apple mixture onto the bottom half of the rectangle to within 1-inch of edges.
• Starting at the short side roll up in jellyroll fashion.
• Place seam side down onto baking sheet, then tuck ends under to seal.
• Brush the roll with egg mixture.
• Cut several 2-inch slits about 2-inches apart on top.
• Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until golden.

SIMPLE PUFF PASTRY APPLE DESSERT

Steps:

• 1. Prepare apples. I peel them and then use a corer/slicer that gives you 8 wedges. Cut each wedge into 3 pieces. Place cut apples in a bowl of water with the lemon or lime juice as you cut it so it won't discolor. When you are done cutting all apples, drain them well.
• 2. In a very large skillet, melt the butter over a low/medium heat and toss in the apples.
• 3. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. I use golden delicious apples (NOT red delicious, which will turn to mush) Cortlands are really good too. If you use a tart apple, like granny smith, you will need to increase the sugar to 1/2-2/3 cups.
• 4. Cook the apples until they are a little soft, but not cooked to mush. Cool for 5 minutes.
• 5. Fill the 5x5 inch puff pastry squares & close in a triangular shape, pinching the edges well all around. Place on a baking sheet.
• 6. Brush cream on each one & sprinkle with raw sugar.
• 7. Place in preheated 400 degree oven until nicely browned. It usually takes about 20 minutes, but watch after 15 minutes, so that they don't burn. I have found that they bake best on the middle shelf. The tops burn on the top shelf and the bottoms burn on the bottom shelf, so bake in two batches if you have to.
