Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet if needed to a 9-inch square, then cut into 9 3-inch squares and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Use a paring knife to lightly score a ½-inch border around the edges of each square, making sure not to cut all the way through. Use a pastry brush to brush the egg yolk and water mixture over the borders of each square.
- Place about 2 teaspoons of Private Selection® Aged Cheddar in the center of each square, then fan out 3-4 slices of apple and place on top. Sprinkle a bit of sage over the apples, followed by another pinch of Private Selection® Aged Cheddar and a small pinch of flaky salt.
- Bake the squares for 15-17 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use firm, crisp apples that hold their shape well when cooked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
- Slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
- Use a sharp cheddar cheese: This will give the bites a bold, sharp flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the apples and cheese, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can cook evenly.
- Cook the apples and cheese until they are golden brown: This will give them a delicious caramelized flavor.
- Serve the bites warm: These are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, when the cheese is melted and gooey.
