APPLE BUNDLES
2 apples, peeled, cored and chopped
4 ounces orange juice with pulp
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons golden raisins
puff pastry*
cinnamon sugar
egg, beaten
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
2 tablespoons hot water

• Thaw the pastry sheets at room temperature until they’re easy to handle (about 45 minutes).
• Pre-heat the oven to 375°.
• Whisk the orange juice, apple pie spice, brown sugar and sugar together in a medium saucepan. Bring to a low boil.
• Add apple pieces and raisins.
• Line baking sheet with silicone mat or parchment paper.
• Unfold pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a 10-inch square. Cut the pastry sheet into 4 (5-inch) squares. Repeat with the remaining pastry sheet.
• Spoon 1/4 cup of apple mixture into center of square.
• Brush the edges of the pastry squares with the egg.
• Fold each pastry in half over the apple mixture and press the edges to seal.
• Place the filled pastries onto the baking sheets.
• Brush the tops of the pastries with the egg.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pastries are golden. Let cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes. Remove the pastries to a wire rack and let cool.
• Place the butter into a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. Stir in the confectioners’ sugar. Stir in the water, adding additional water, if necessary, until the icing is the desired consistency.
• Drizzle the icing over the pastries.

*If you’re in a hurry, you can substitute a can of crescent rolls and have a similar dessert.
