How To Make pastry cookies

• 1

  Heat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
• 2

  Stir the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Add the apples, pecans and butter and toss to coat.
• 3

  Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
• 4

  Roll the pastry sheet into a 15x10-inch rectangle. Brush the pastry sheet with water.
• 5

  With the long side facing you, spoon the apple mixture on the pastry to within 2 inches of the long sides and to the edge of the short sides.
• 6

  Starting at a long side, roll up like a jelly roll.
• 7

  Cut the pastry roll into 12 (1 1/4-inch) slices. Place the pastry slices, cut-side down, onto the baking sheet.
• 8

  Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown. Remove the pastries from the baking sheet and let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the confectioners' sugar.
