4. Assemble the Pastries:
Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the cottage cheese mixture into the center of each pastry.
Arrange thin slices of apple on top of the cottage cheese mixture.
Sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon and brown sugar for extra sweetness.
5. Apply the Egg Wash:
Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the beaten egg wash to give a golden finish when baked.
6. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed up and golden brown.
7. Serve:
Allow the pastries to cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey for a touch of sweetness. Enjoy warm!
