Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup(s) brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup(s) all purpose flour
1 teaspoon(s) cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon(s) nutmeg
1 - granny smith apple peeled and diced about 2 cups
1 cup(s) chopped pecans
1 tablespoon(s) butter cut into pieces
1/2 - of a 17.3-ounce package pepperidge farm® puff pastry sheets (1 sheet), thawed
- confectioners' sugar

Steps:

Heat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
Stir the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Add the apples, pecans and butter and toss to coat.
Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
Roll the pastry sheet into a 15x10-inch rectangle. Brush the pastry sheet with water.
With the long side facing you, spoon the apple mixture on the pastry to within 2 inches of the long sides and to the edge of the short sides.
Starting at a long side, roll up like a jelly roll.
Cut the pastry roll into 12 (1 1/4-inch) slices. Place the pastry slices, cut-side down, onto the baking sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown. Remove the pastries from the baking sheet and let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the confectioners' sugar.
• Flavor Variation: You can substitute walnuts for the pecans if you like.
