Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Peel the apples, remove the cores and cut them into thin slices, then cook them for 3 minutes in a pan with the butter and a spoonful of sugar.
  3. Roll out the puff pastry on the work surface, brush it with melted butter and sprinkle it with the remaining sugar and the cinnamon.
  4. Spread the apples over the pastry, leaving a small border, then roll the pastry up lengthways, tightly.
  5. Cut the roll into slices about 2 cm thick and arrange them on the tray, spaced apart.
  6. Mix the egg yolk with the milk and brush the tops of the spirals.
  7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the snails are well browned and flaky.
  8. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving, as the apples are very hot straight from the oven.

Variations and tips

Raisin version. Add rehydrated raisins with the apples for a softer flavour.

Using what you have. Shop-bought puff pastry works perfectly, just let it rest for a few minutes before rolling it out.
