Apple, cinnamon & almond swirls with honey glaze

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.

Ingredients:

2 tsp cinnamon
6g
2 tsp brown sugar
6g
1 yolk
16g
1 tsp milk (1% fat)
5g
1/4 cup butter
54g
2 apples
320g
1 cup almonds
120g
2 tbsp honey
20g
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2g
1 tbsp sugar
16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Ingredients:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Apples:
- Peel, core, and finely chop the apples. Set aside.
3. Toast the Almonds:
- 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.
4. Make the Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped apples, toasted almonds, 2 tsp of cinnamon, and 2 tsp of brown sugar. Mix well to combine.
5. Prepare the Dough:
- Roll out your dough (puff pastry or your preferred dough) on a lightly floured surface into a rectangular shape about 1/8-inch thick.
6. Spread Butter:
- Melt 1/4 cup of butter and brush it evenly over the surface of the rolled-out dough.
7. Add Filling:
- Evenly spread the apple, cinnamon, and almond filling over the buttered surface of the dough.
8. Roll and Slice:
- 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.
9. Prepare Egg Wash:
- 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.
10. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the swirls are golden brown and fully cooked through.
11. Make the Honey Glaze:
- 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.
12. Glaze the Swirls:
- 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.
13. Serve:
- 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!
