from DelishFOR THE CHURRO BOWLS
Cooking spray
2 oz. (12-oz.) packages puff pastry, thawed 
1/2 c. cinnamon sugar
FOR THE APPLE FILLING
2 tbsp. butter
4 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
1/4 c. granulated sugar
1/4 c. lightly packed brown sugar
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
Pinch kosher salt

Caramel, for serving

• Preheat oven to 400° and spray an inverted muffin tin with cooking spray.
• Roll out puff pastry and using a 4" cookie cutter, cut out 12 circles.
• Place puff pastry on inverted muffin tin and press to form bowls.
• Bake until golden, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Let cool. 
• Since puff pastry puffs, you may have to use an oven mitt and gently press bowls back onto muffin tin and reshape bowls.
• When cool enough to handle, remove bowls from muffin tin and toss in cinnamon sugar. 
• Make apple pie filling: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter.
• Add apples, sugars, lemon juice, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are soft and caramelized, 20 minutes.
• Let cool 10 minutes. 
• Fill churro bowls with apple pie filling and drizzle with caramel.
