Preheat your oven to 400º and follow the instructions to thaw the puff pastry dough.

Use an apple corer or round cookie cutter to core the apples. Slice them into 1/2 inch rings and set aside.

Roll out the thawed puff pastry with a rolling pin, making it longer and thinner. Use a pizza cutter to create thin, long, 1/2 inch strips. Gently stretch the strips and wrap them around the apple rings, pinching together multiple strips as needed.

Mix cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl and set aside.

Place the wrapped apple pastries on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush them with melted butter and generously sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Bake for about 15-18 minutes on the middle rack, or until the puff pastry is golden brown. Keep an eye on them!

Let the pastries cool for 3-5 minutes, then drizzle with caramel topping. Serve with vanilla ice cream if desired.
