Vegetarian
1 pkg. Puff Pastry
1 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
6 oz. canned dulce de leche (or canned caramel sauce)

STEPS
-
Preheat oven to 400°F.
-
Prepare the caramel filling by mixing together the coconut, pecans, dulce de leche and pinch of salt. Set aside.
-
For the apple filling, peel and chop the apples. Heat pan on medium heat for a few minutes then add butter. Once the butter has melted, add the apples, sugar and cinnamon. Stirring occasionally, cook until the apples are tender. Set aside.
-
Next, grease a mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Unroll the refrigerated Puff Pastry on the enclosed parchment. Cut dough into 3 inch squares, forming approximately 15 squares. Place each square into the muffin tin. Brush each dough cup with melted butter and put 1 Tbsp. of caramel mixture into each cup, pressing down. Then, top each with apple mixture. Repeat 14 times.
-
Bake for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.
-
When ready to serve, top with fresh whipped cream. These are delicious served warm or at room temperature.
