Since preparing Danish dough isn't so easy, I baked ready-made puff pastry topped with caramelized sugar.

No need to worry about the caramelized sugar not being perfectly shaped since it melts in the oven. Recipe by Masapandayan

Steps

1

Cut the puff pastry into round shapes (16 pieces) and cool in the refrigerator. On a sheet of parchment paper, draw 16 circles slightly smaller than the round puff pastry.
2

To make the caramelized sugar, put the sugar and water in a pot and simmer until it's brown (deep caramel color). Pour the caramel inside the circles drawn on parchment sheet in Step 1. Chill in the refrigerator.
3

Prepare the apple filling: Put the butter and apple in a pot and cook until tender. Add the cinnamon and rum and cook off the excess water.
4

Put the apple filling on a piece of puff pastry and cover with another piece of puff pastry. (Do this for all 8 pairs of puff pastry.) Arrange the caramel on a sheet of parchment paper and place the sandwiched puff pastries on top.
5

Bake in an oven preheated to 230℃ for about 15-20 minutes, and they're done.
