1 sheet puff pastry
2 tablespoon cinnamon
2 tablespoon butter melted
¼ cup light brown sugar

Instructions

Bring your puff pastry to room temperature. Have it sit out on the counter for about 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375F.
Flour your work surface to avoid any sticking.
On your lightly floured surface, take your puff pastry sheet, and unfold it.
Using a rolling pin, roll out your sheet of pastry puff.
Melt your butter and spread the melted butter onto the pastry puff sheet.
Mix your cinnamon and brown sugar in a small bowl, and evenly sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture on top of the butter.
Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut into ½-inch long strips.
Twist by taking each end of the strip and twisting in opposite directions.
Place the twists on a large baking sheet.
Bake at 375F for 14 - 16 minutes.

Notes

Tips for making the best cinnamon puff pastry twists

Parchment Paper. If you want to make cleaning 10 times easier, put parchment paper on your baking tray.

Leftover Cinnamon Sugar. When you twist dough, you're going to have residual cinnamon sugar fall off. Sprinkle that leftover sugar mix on the top.

Storage and reheating

Store leftover cinnamon twists in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days.

To reheat, brush a bit of melted butter on them and let them bake for a few minutes in the oven at 300F.
