Instructions

  • Prepare the pineapple:
    - cut off the 2 ends

  • Shape into 8 rectangles by sprinkling with cinnamon sugar.
  • Place pineapple slices on each sugar mound, overlapping the slices slightly.
  • Cover each mound with a piece of puff pastry. Press down on the edges to ensure the pastry covers the fruit.
