These apple twists are a great way to use up leftover puff pastry.

These apple twists are the perfect combination of sweet and tart. I love the way the apples caramelize in the oven.

The apple twists were a bit bland. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.

These apple twists are the perfect fall treat. They're warm, comforting, and full of apple flavor. I love serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

I used a different type of apple than the recipe called for, and they still turned out great. The apple twists were moist and flavorful, and the cinnamon sugar topping was the perfect finishing touch.

The twists were a bit tricky to shape at first, but I got the hang of it after a few tries. They turned out beautifully and tasted even better than they looked.

Followed the recipe exactly and the apple twists came out perfect. They were golden brown and crispy on the outside, and the apples were soft and flavorful on the inside. A great addition to my brunch menu.
