Spooky Pastry Puffs
Recipe courtesy Sandra Lee

Ingredients
1 sheet puff pastry (from a package of 2)

Filling:
4 tablespoons butter, melted
2 green apples, thinly sliced (soak apples in lemon water to keep them from
browning)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 tablespoon rum extract
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/3 cup apple cider

1/2 cup apple butter
Whipped topping in a can
Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions
Preheat oven to 420 degrees F. Thaw puff pastry in
refrigerator

For the filling: Melt butter in a pan. Add the apples and toss so they are covered
with the melted butter. Add brown sugar, rum extract, pumpkin pie spice and apple
cider. Stir over heat until thick.

Lay 1 sheet of puff pastry flat on a cutting board. Cut puff pastry with Halloween

shaped cookie cutters like bats, pumpkins and ghosts. Place cutout shapes on an
ungreased cookie sheet. Make sure there is enough room between shapes for them to
puff-up. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.

When puff pastry has been baked carefully cut each shape in half like a sandwich.
Spread apple butter on bottom half of puff pastry. Layer apple filling on top of
the apple butter. Put whipped topping on top of apple filling. Place top half of
puff pasty on whipped cream to complete the sandwich. Sprinkle with powdered
sugar.
