Ingredients

The following ingredients have 9 Servings
  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
  • 1/2 cup salted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (to sprinkle on top)
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cream
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350F degrees
  • Combine the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and orange zest in a bowl and mix to combine.
  • Lay the puff pastry flat on a lightly floured surface.
  • Spread the cinnamon sugar mixture on top of the puff pastry.
  • Gently roll up the edges and continue rolling, as lightly as you can. You may need to lightly moisten the edges with water or a but of egg wash to make them stick. 
  • Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled up pastry in 1 to 1 1/2" pieces.
  • Place the pieces on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
  • Brush the tops of the pastry with the egg wash, then sprinkle with the coarse sugar and sea salt. 
  • Bake the cinnamon swirls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. The cinnamon sugar mixture will have leaked into the pan, but that it ok.
  • Remove and spoon the melted cinnamon sugar mixture from the pan over the top of the cinnamon swirls. Let cool for 5 minutes and place on a wire rack to finish cooling.
  • The bottom will be perfectly caramelized with the cinnamon, sugar and butter mixture. Drizzle with the orange glaze and serve.
