Apple Dumpling Puffs with Spiced Caramel Drizzle: A Cozy Dessert Delight

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Season the Apples: In a bowl, toss the apple wedges with sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly coated.
Wrap the Apples: Roll out the puff pastry slightly and cut into 4-inch squares. Place an apple wedge in the center of each square, brush with melted butter, and fold the pastry around the apple, pinching to seal.
Add Egg Wash: Place the wrapped apples on the baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and flaky.
Make the Spiced Caramel Drizzle:

Caramelize Sugar: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar, stirring constantly until it turns a golden amber color.
Add Butter and Cream: Carefully stir in the butter until melted, then slowly add the heavy cream while whisking. The mixture will bubble.
Flavor the Caramel: Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Let cool slightly.
Assemble the Dessert:

Drizzle the spiced caramel over the warm apple dumpling puffs.
Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
