5g ground cinnamon

METHOD
-
Preheat your oven to 180 ° C. Peel and cut apples into small cubes. Keep the apples in a bowl with the lemon juice.
-
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, then add the apples.

Add sugar and cinnamon and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let cool for 10 minutes. Crush the apples with a spoon, to obtain the consistency of a compote.

Spread the applesauce on the first roll of puff pastry, leaving a 1 cm edge for soldering.

Cover with the second puff pastry. Using a knife, cut the dough into a fir tree. Then cut strips of dough on both sides to get the branches. Carefully wrap each slat in order to twist them.

Using a piping bag, add 15g of Nutella® to each branch.
