・KORE Manuka Honey: 1/4 cup

・All-Purpose Flour: 1/4 cup
・Rolled Oats: 1/4 cup
・Brown Sugar: 2 tablespoons
・Butter: 2 tablespoons, melted
Instructions:
Follow these simple steps to bring this recipe to life:
- Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking. - Prepare the Pastry:
Cut the thawed puff pastry into 4-inch squares and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each square. - Apple Filling:
In a mixing bowl, combine the apple slices with 2 tablespoons of KORE Manuka Honey, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Toss until the apples are evenly coated. Place the apple slices on top of each puff pastry square, spreading them out evenly. - Make the Crumble Topping:
In another bowl, mix together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and melted butter until the mixture becomes crumbly. Sprinkle this topping generously over the apples on each pastry square. - Honey Drizzle:
Drizzle the remaining KORE Manuka Honey over the top of each Danish to add an extra layer of sweetness and a beautiful glaze. - Bake:
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender. - Serve:
These Danish pastries are best enjoyed warm, but they’re also delicious at room temperature. Serve them on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
Why Use KORE Manuka Honey?
