Cheesy Puffed Apple Bites Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: frozen puff pastry, large egg yolk, Private Selection® Aged Cheddar Blend Thick Cut Shredded Cheese, granny smith apple, fresh sage leaves, flaky sea salt

Provided by Kroger

Categories     Appetizers

Time 30m

Yield 9 puffs

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 large egg yolk, beaten witha splash of water
9 tablespoons Private Selection® Aged Cheddar Blend Thick Cut Shredded Cheese, divided
1 granny smith apple, cored and thinly sliced
8 fresh sage leaves, thinly sliced (about 1 tablespoon)
flaky sea salt, for garnish

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.
