Ingredients

1 package frozen puff pastry thawed (2 sheets)
6 slices cheddar cheese
2 honeycrisp apples cored and thinly sliced
1 egg
¼ cup hot honey

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface roll out the first sheet of puff pastry until the creases are smoothed out and it is about three inches long and wider.
1 package frozen puff pastry
With the log laying horizontally in front of you, lay down half of the cheese slices vertically starting on the farthest left corner until you have an even layer covering the left ¼ of the log. (You may need to break them apart depending on the sizes).
6 slices cheddar cheese
Fold the puff pastry vertically so that the cheese is sandwiched between two layers of dough.
Next, lay out your apple slices in an even layer to the right of your folded layers, you’ll want it to be the same width as the cheese layer.
2 honeycrisp apples
Fold the cheese stuffed puff pastry over the apple layer then fold it one more time to cover the excess pastry dough.
Seal the edges of the dough using a little water and then pinching the seams together.
Transfer the dough to the cookie sheet with the seam side up, leaving room to fit the next log.
Repeat steps 3-8 with the second puff pastry sheet, so you have two finished logs.
Whisk the egg with a splash of water, then brush both pastries with an even layer of egg wash.
1 egg
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the puff pastry is golden on top.
While hot drizzle with hot honey.
1/4 cup hot honey
Once cooled just slightly, cut both logs in half horizontally then into even bite sized pieces vertically. Stick a toothpick in each bite and serve warm.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can either move them to another container and store in that or just wrap up the entire tray with leftovers using plastic wrap and keep that in the fridge. They should be good for up to three days when stored properly in the fridge.

If you want to reheat the apple cheesy bites, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place them in a cold oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and let the bites warm up with the oven.

Bake within a few hours of making the logs so the apples don’t brown.
