1. Preheat oven to 400°F conventional or 350°F convection.
2. Place one sheet of puff pastry inside a parchment-lined half-size (12" x 17") sheetpan. Bake 10 minutes (pastry will puff and shrink from sides). Remove from oven and let cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Reserve.

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.
