  4. Place remaining sheet of puff pastry on top of the apple filling to cover. Sprinkle top with cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  5. Bake for 40- 45 minutes, or until pastry is puffed and golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Cover and refrigerate within 2 hours.
  6. To Serve: Cut into 24 equal portions and serve with a sprinkling of confectioners' sugar.
