Brown Sugar Apple Pastries
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (half of 17.3-ounce package), thawed
- 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, divided
- 3/4 cup (packed) dark brown sugar, divided
- 1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
- 3 (8-ounce) Granny Smith apples, peeled, quartered, cored, each quarter cut into 3 slices
- 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon peel
- Vanilla ice cream
- Position rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 425u0b0F. Unfold pastry sheet on work surface. Cut into 3 strips along fold lines. Cut strips in half crosswise. Transfer rectangles to baking sheet. Blend 2 tablespoons butter, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon in small bowl; spread over rectangles. Bake 10 minutes. Pierce crusts with fork to deflate; continue baking until bottoms are crisp, about 6 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add apples. Saute until beginning to brown, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and lemon peel. Toss until syrup forms and apples are tender but still hold shape, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer crusts to platter. Top each with apples; drizzle with any syrup from skillet. Serve pastries warm or at room temperature with ice cream.
