APPLE AND JAM CANNOLI with puff pastry, easy and super quick, perfect sweets for breakfast and great at any time of the day.
The APPLE AND JAM CANNOLI with puff pastry are the clever dessert I make when I crave something delicious but have very little time! Crunchy outside, soft inside, they smell of caramelized apples and warm jam… in short, one of those recipes that ‘taste like home’, of a slow Sunday morning breakfast or an impromptu snack with steaming tea.
The truth is these puff pastry cannoli come from the classic ‘I only have a roll of puff pastry and two apples in the fridge’: I rolled them up, filled them with a bit of apricot jam (but peach or cherry works just fine too) and into the oven. In 15 minutes the kitchen smelled of Christmas and happy breakfasts.
These are simple sweets, perfect also for last-minute guests, for holiday sweet buffets, or to bring to school and the office — they keep wonderfully and are irresistible even the next day!
The APPLE AND JAM CANNOLI with puff pastry are those simple yet perfect desserts that win everyone over: fragrant, golden, with a soft heart of fruit and jam, ideal for breakfast, snacks, or as a holiday treat. Basically, the express version of an apple pie… just much crunchier! 😋

APPLE AND JAM CANNOLI
Tasty tips from a blogger in the kitchen:
Use firm-fleshed apples (like Golden or Renette) to prevent them from releasing too much water.
A pinch of cinnamon or vanilla inside works wonders!
For an extra crispy effect, brush the cannoli with a bit of milk or egg and sprinkle with brown sugar.
If you want to make them even more delicious, add some hazelnut or toasted almond crumbs on top.

FAQ APPLE AND JAM CANNOLI
Can I use a different type of jam?
Of course! Peaches, figs, or berries work great. Apricot jam remains a classic.
Can they be made in advance?
Yes, you can prepare them and store them in an airtight container. Before serving, warm them in the oven for a few minutes: they will become as fresh as out of the oven.
Is static or fan oven better?
Fan oven: it puffs up the pastry better, making it golden and crispy.
