Ingredients
½ cup flour
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
4 tbsp. firm unsalted butter, divided
4 cups sliced Haralson apples (about 4 apples)
2 ½ tbsp. Kowalski's Vanilla Sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. water
17.3 oz. pkg. (2 sheets) frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
8 oz. carton mascarpone cheese
Directions

In small bowl, combine flour, brown sugar and granulated sugar; set aside. In separate bowl, combine apples and vanilla sugar; set aside. In small bowl, whisk together egg and water; set aside. Lightly flour counter; unfold both sheets of puff pastry. Roll each into a 12x12" square. Cut 4 (6") circles from each sheet; arrange on parchment lined baking sheet. Brush each circle with egg and water mixture. Spoon mounded 1/2 cup apple filling onto center of each circle. Sprinkle 2 tbsp. crumb topping over apples; dot each with 1/2 tbsp. butter cut into pieces. Fold pastry up onto fruit, pleating and lightly pressing the dough to fit. Brush edges of pastry with egg mixture to hold together. Bake in a preheated 350° oven until golden brown (28-30 min.). Serve immediately with a dollop of mascarpone.
