Apple, cinnamon, and almond swirls with a honey glaze are a delightful combination of warm spices, sweet apples, and crunchy almonds. This recipe is perfect for a cozy breakfast or a delicious snack. The honey glaze adds an extra layer of sweetness and a beautiful shine to these tasty treats.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel, core, and finely chop the apples. Set aside.
- In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the almonds until they are golden brown and fragrant. Allow them to cool slightly, then roughly chop them.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped apples, toasted almonds, 2 tsp of cinnamon, and 2 tsp of brown sugar. Mix well to combine.
- Roll out your dough (puff pastry or your preferred dough) on a lightly floured surface into a rectangular shape about 1/8-inch thick.
- Melt 1/4 cup of butter and brush it evenly over the surface of the rolled-out dough.
- Evenly spread the apple, cinnamon, and almond filling over the buttered surface of the dough.
- Carefully roll the dough up tightly like a jelly roll, starting from one of the longer edges.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 1-inch thick slices and place them cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and 1 tsp of milk.
- Brush the egg wash over the top of each swirl to give them a beautiful golden color as they bake.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the swirls are golden brown and fully cooked through.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 2 tbsp of honey, 2g of vanilla extract, and 1 tbsp of sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Alternatively, you can heat the mixture in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the sugar dissolves.
- Remove the swirls from the oven and allow them to cool for just a few minutes.
- While they are still warm, drizzle the honey glaze over the swirls.
- Serve the apple, cinnamon & almond swirls warm as a delicious breakfast treat or dessert. Enjoy!
Tips:
- For a more intense cinnamon flavor, consider adding a bit more cinnamon to the filling mix.
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice contrast to the sweetness of the honey glaze.
- Chop the almonds finely if you want a more uniform texture, or leave them in bigger chunks for more crunch.
- To save time, you can use pre-made puff pastry dough instead of making your own from scratch.
- Brush the swirls with the egg yolk and milk mixture before baking to give them a golden-brown finish.
- Make sure to let the swirls cool slightly before applying the honey glaze to prevent it from melting off.
Enjoy these apple, cinnamon, and almond swirls fresh out of the oven with a hot cup of tea or coffee. The combination of flavors and textures makes them irresistible. They're sure to become a favorite in your household!
