Let's get started!
- Preheat oven to 375ºF.
- Combine butter, honey, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon in a small mixing bowl. Mix until smooth.
- Squeeze half a lemon into the water. Cut apples in half lengthwise and remove the core. Slice each half into thin slivers and then soak them in the lemon water.
- Microwave the soaking apples until soft, about 4 to 5 minutes. Drain the apples and then pat them dry.
- Roll out each sheet of puff pastry to about 12 by 12 inches. Cut out six 2-inch by 12 inch strips and then brush off excess flour.
- Spread a thin layer of honey butter onto one side of each pastry strip. Arrange the apples lengthwise slightly overlapping as you go, skin towards the top (PICTURE at 4:12).
- Fold the pastry up over the apple slices. Start at one end and roll the pastry into a swirl.
- Repeat steps 5 through 7 with the other sheet of puff pastry.
- Place into a greased cupcake tray and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes, until golden brown.
