Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry
- 2 medium honeycrisp apples peeled and cubed
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup brown sugar

- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400℉. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, add the apples, butter, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Cook for 7-10 minutes until the apples are soft and tender.
