Upside-down apple puff pastries are an easy and indulgent little dessert, perfect at any time of the day — for breakfast, a snack, or whenever you crave something tasty. I recommend eating them the same day so the puff pastry remains flaky; the next day they will still be good but the puff pastry won’t be as crisp as when freshly baked. For these apple pastries I used acacia honey; alternatively use a mild, creamy wildflower honey. I also suggest checking out DESSERTS WITH APPLES IN THE AIR FRYER, which are also simple and — thanks to air fryer cooking — don’t require preheating the oven. Now let’s see how to make the Upside-down apple puff pastries and if you try them let me know. Barbara

How to make the upside-down apple puff pastries
Let’s start preparing the upside-down apple puff pastries. Cut the puff pastry into 6 rectangles and prick them with the tines of a fork. Peel the apple, cut it into 4 quarters, remove the core, and slice into pieces about 1/4-inch thick.
Line the baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle a little brown sugar to form 6 spaced rectangles.
Arrange the apple slices over the sugar and drizzle with honey. Cover each cluster of apples with a rectangle of puff pastry and press lightly over the apples.
Bake in a preheated conventional oven at 356°F for 20 minutes. When cooked, let them cool slightly, then invert them, carefully detaching from the parchment paper.
If you like, dust them with powdered sugar or leave them plain as I did.
How to store the upside-down apple puff pastries
Store at room temperature for 1 day; after that the puff pastry will no longer be crispy.
