Apple Cheddar Bundles
- 2 medium Honeycrisp apples (about 1 1/4 pounds, cored and thinly sliced (1/8 inch))
- Zest from 1 lemon
- 6 tablespoons honey (divided)
- 1 17.3-ounce frozen package puff pastry, thawed
- 1 large egg
- 1 8-ounce block sharp cheddar, grated
- 1 1/2 teaspoons flaky sea salt
- 1/4 cup chopped roasted pecans
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a bowl, toss apples, lemon zest, and 4 tablespoons honey.
- Cut each pastry sheet into 4 squares (4.5″ x 4.5″). Whisk egg with a splash of water in a small bowl. Brush outer edges of pastry with egg wash. Place 1 tablespoon grated cheese at the bottom of each square. Top with 10 to 11 apple slices, then another tablespoon of cheese on each side. Fold the sides over the top and press lightly to seal. Brush tops and sides with egg wash, then sprinkle with sea salt. Arrange 4 pastries on each prepared baking sheet.
- Bake, rotating trays halfway through, until golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.
- Arrange on a platter, drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons honey, and top with pecans and thyme. Enjoy the deliciousness!
