FAQ:
Q: Can I use frozen puff pastry for this recipe? A: Yes, frozen puff pastry works perfectly well. Just make sure to thaw it according to the package instructions before using it.
Q: What kind of apples are best for this recipe? A: Apples with a balance of tartness and sweetness, like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, are ideal. They hold their shape well when baked and provide a nice contrast to the sweetness of the cinnamon and sugar.
