1 sheet puff pastry (from a 17.3 ounce package) thawed
3 tbsp unsalted butter
3 pounds (about 6) Gala or fuji apples, peeled, cored, thinly sliced
1/2cup plus 2 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees; line a baking sheet
with parchment paper or foil. On a lightly floured
work surface, unfold pastry; roll out to a 12-by-14-
inch rectangle. Place on sheet; refrigerate.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium;
reserve 1 tablespoon in a small bowl. To skillet,
add apples, 1/2 cup sugar, and cinnamon. Increase
heat to medium-high; cook, tossing occasionally,
until apples are tender and liquid has evaporated,
about 15 minutes. Spread filling on a second
rimmed baking sheet; let cool completely.
With one short side of dough facing you, mound
filling horizontally in a strip across the center,
leaving a 1-inch border on both long sides. Fold top
part, then bottom part of dough over filling. Turn
pastry over, seam side down.
Brush pastry with reserved melted butter; sprinkle
with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Using a paring
knife, cut steam vents in center of pastry. Bake
until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Let rest 10
minutes before serving
