Always bake Puff Pastry shells in a preheated 400°F oven. Do not bake shells in a microwave or a toaster oven.

Recipe
Ingredients
1 pkg. (10 ounces) Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Shells
6 tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
3 large apples
2/3 cup caramel topping, warmed (optional)
Vanilla ice cream
Directions
Thaw the pastry shells at room temperature for 40 minutes. Heat the oven to 375°F. Stir the sugar, cinnamon and ginger in a small bowl.
Roll each pastry shell into a 5-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Place the pastry circles onto 2 baking sheets. Arrange about 2/3 cup apple slices on each pastry circle, overlapping the slices. Sprinkle each with about 1 tablespoon sugar mixture.
Bake for 25 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown. Drizzle with the caramel topping, if desired. Serve the pastries with the ice cream.
