Steps:
- Set oven to 400 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (you will most likely need two baking sheets for 16 pastries).
- Roll out one puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface into a 12x10-inch rectangle, then cut in half lengthwise (I use a pizza cutter for this).
- Cut each half crosswise into four 5x3-inch strips (for a total of 8 strips).
- Spread each strip with about 1/2 tablespoon apricot jam, then fold the strips in half lengthwise to form 1-1/2-inch wide strips.
- Twist each strip 3 times, then place on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Repeat with the remaining puff pastry (you should have 16 pastries when done, you might have to use two baking sheets.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes.
- Transfer the twists to a rack.
- In a small bowl whisk together confectioners sugar, whipping cream and lemon juice; brush over the warm pastries.

Steps:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface into a 12- by 10-inch rectangle, then cut in half lengthwise. Cut each half crosswise into 4 (5- by 3-inch) strips (for a total of 8 strips).
- Spread each strip with 1/2 tablespoon jam, then fold strips in half lengthwise to form 1 1/2-inch-wide strips. Twist each strip 3 times and place on baking sheet.
- Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer twists to a rack set over a sheet of parchment. Stir together confectioners sugar, cream, and lemon juice until smooth, then brush over warm twists. Serve warm.
Tips:
- Prep your ingredients: Before you begin, make sure all of your ingredients are measured, chopped, and prepped. The apricot jam should be softened so that it's easy to spread, and the puff pastry should be thawed if it's frozen.
- Be gentle with the puff pastry: Puff pastry is a delicate dough, so handle it carefully to avoid tearing it. When rolling it out, use a light touch and work quickly.
- Don't overfill the twists: Too much apricot jam will make the twists difficult to roll and seal. Use just enough jam to coat the dough without making it too thick.
- Seal the twists well: To prevent the jam from leaking out during baking, make sure to seal the twists tightly. You can use a fork to press the edges of the dough together, or you can brush them with a little water to help them stick.
- Bake the twists until golden brown: The twists are done baking when they're golden brown and puffed up. Keep an eye on them in the oven to make sure they don't overcook.
