Best 2 Glazed Apricot Twists Recipes

PUFF PASTRY GLAZED APRICOT TWISTS

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.
