- Roll each piece between wax paper to form a 12-by-8-inch rectangle, forming 4 rectangles total.
- Stack the rectangles between layers of wax paper and refrigerate for 10 minutes until chilled.
- Return the rectangles to a lightly floured surface.
- Spoon 1 cup of the apple filling onto each rectangle in a thick stripe about 1/2 inch from a long edge.
