Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 medium apples
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ cup brown sugar
1 sheet puff pastry
1 egg
2 tablespoons coarse sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400˚F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tbsp butter and 3 peeled, cored, and sliced apples. Cook for a few minutes, until softened, then add 1 tsp cinnamon and ¼ cup brown sugar. Continue cooking for anther 5-7 minutes or until they are soft and caramelized. Take the skillet off the heat and set aside to cool off.
Place thawed puff pastry dough on a counter top or a cutting board and cut the dough in half lengthwise.
Place one half on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop the caramelized apple slices in the middle of the dough, leaving about 1 inch on the sides.
Whisk an egg in a bowl, and using a pastry brush, brush the edges on the puff pastry dough.
Top it with another layer of dough and seal the edges, by pinching them on the sides. Using a pairing knife, make a few cuts in the center, creating vents.
Brush the top with more egg wash and top with the raw or coarse sugar.
Bake at 400˚F for about 20 minutes or until the top is golden/brown.

Notes

Puff Pastry Dough. After you thaw the dough, make sure you keep it cold. If you are not ready to bake right away, you can place it in the fridge until ready to use.
Sealing dough. When you place apple pie filling in the middle of the puff pastry dough sheet, you will need to leave a least 1 inch on the sides. Brush it with egg wash before you place the second layer of dough on top and seal the edges.
Apples. This recipe will work with pretty much any apple varieties. If you like it more tart, you can use Granny Smith. If you like them a bit sweeter, you might use Honey Crisp, Gala, McIntosh, or Fuji.
How to store. If you have any leftovers, just transfer them to an air-tight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. You can reheat it in the oven at 350F for about 10 minutes before serving.
