Fruit Mince Cinnamon Swirls
Ingredients
- 2 sheets pre-made puff pastry
- ¼ cup Barker's fruit mince
- ¼ cup almond butter
- ½ tbsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup flaked almonds
- 1 beaten egg for egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- In a small bowl, mix together the almond butter, fruit mince and cinnamon.
- Lay two sheets of frozen puff pastry down onto a cutting board. Spread out the fruit mince/almond butter mixture over the two sheets and sprinkle the flaked almonds on top.
- Once the puff pastry is slightly thawed, roll both pastry sheets up, one at a time. This will form 2 large "logs".
- NOTE: I brushed the egg wash onto the pastry before I cut the swirls to save a bit of time. You can either do this or brush each swirl after they are cut. Make sure the pastry is still really cold before you cut the swirls. You can place it back in the freezer for 10 minutes before cutting if your pastry has thawed too quickly.
- Cut the logs into 1cm wide sections which should give you about 10 fruit mince swirls per "log". Lay the swirls onto the baking tray and brush the tops with egg wash.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- OPTIONAL: a dust of icing sugar on top of the swirls is a great finishing touch that looks and tastes delicious!
