6 – 8 Tart Apples, peeled, cored and quartered
1/3 C. Rum
1/3 C. Sugar
2 tsp. Cinnamon
1 171/4 oz. pkg. Frozen Puff Pastry
1 Egg
2 T. Water

Place apple quarters in a bowl and sprinkle with rum, sugar and cinnamon. Let stand for 30 minutes. Roll both sheets of frozen puff pastry to about 1/4 to 1/8 inch thickness and cut out squares large enough to enclose apple quarters. Place one quarter in the center of a pastry square; lift 4 corners towards the center and pinch the sides together. Bend the corner tips back so part of the apple is visible at the top. Repeat with remaining apples. Beat the egg with the water. Brush pastries with the mixture and chill 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Bake apple quarters for 5 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for 15 to 20 minutes more.

Yield: 24 to 32 pieces
