A wonderful, healthy, delicious, and easy-to-make dessert—apples baked in puff pastry. The sweetness of the filling balances harmoniously with the tartness of the apples, while the dough prevents the juices from leaking out and keeps the apples tender. Those with a sweet tooth will be delighted by the glaze and a scoop of vanilla ice cream next to the apples in the puff pastry. This puff pastry can be made any time of year, as this fruit is known for its shelf life, and stores offer varieties to suit every taste.
