Apple and Almond Jalousie

Unknownpage 3

Ingredients

  • 1 Sheet Pepperidge Farm Frozen Puff Pastry
  • 1 Large Granny Smith Apple, peeled, cored
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Cinnamon
  • Granulated Sugar, to sprinkle on top
  • 2/3 Cup Sliced Almonds, blanched
  • 1 Tablespoon Granulated Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Golden Raisins
  • 1 Egg, beaten with 1 teaspoon water

Instructions

Thaw the pastry for 20 minutes. Unfold and cut into 2 even rectangles. Roll each on a lightly floured surface making 1 rectangle 7 by 15 inches and the other, 6 by 14 inches. Fold the larger rectangle in half lengthwise and cut through the folded edge making slits 1/2 inch apart and about 2 and 1/2 inches long. Open the sheet and set aside. Place the smaller rectangle on an un-greased baking sheet. Mix the cinnamon with the tablespoon of sugar. Slice the apple very thin. Arrange the apples down the center of the pastry. Sprinkle with the raisins, sugar-cinnamon mix and 1/2 cup of the almonds. Brush the edges of the dough with the egg mixture and top with the reserved pastry. Press the edges together with the tines of a fork. Brush the whole piece with the egg mixture. Sprinkle the top with sugar and the remaining almonds. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes. Serves 8.
