Faq

  • Can I prepare the apple rings ahead of time?

    Yes, you can assemble the apple rings a few hours in advance and store them in the refrigerator. Brush with the egg yolk and add the almonds right before baking.

  • Can I use another type of fruit?

    Absolutely! Pears work well, and you can experiment with peaches or even pineapple slices for a different twist. 🍑🍍

  • How do I make sure the puff pastry remains crispy?

    Ensure your oven is fully preheated before you start baking. Also, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to allow for even air circulation.

  • Can I add cinnamon or other spices?

    Yes, feel free to sprinkle a bit of cinnamon, nutmeg, or even cardamom on top of the wrapped apple rings before baking for an extra punch of flavor. 🌟

  • Can I make these in an air fryer?

    Yes, you can! Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and cook for about 10-12 minutes, checking for doneness frequently. They should be golden and crispy. 🍏✨

  • How can I ensure the almonds stay on top?

    Press the almonds gently into the egg yolk wash to help them adhere better. You can also lightly toast them before placing them on the apple rings for extra crunch.
