Peanut Butter Puff Pastry Pinwheels

These were quick and easy to make, too. With less than 10 minutes of hands on time, 20 minutes of baking, and 10 minutes of cooling, these can be on the table in a hurry! Want to turn them into more of a dessert? Swap the jelly for Nutella. You’re welcome.

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray a 12 count muffin pan very well with non-stick spray. You'll only need 8 cavities. Set aside.
Lightly sprinkle your work surface with flour and lay your puff pastry. Lightly press together the seams, if needed, to form a solid sheet of pastry. Spread the peanut butter evenly over the pastry, allowing for /2 inch margins from the edges. Dollop and spread jam evenly over the peanut butter.
Roll up the pastry into a log shape and slice into 8 pieces, about 1 inch thick.
Carefully transfer the pieces to the muffin pan, placing one piece per cavity.
Crack an egg into a small bowl, beat with a fork, and liberally egg wash each of the pinwheels. You'll use about half of the egg.
Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and stir to combine. Sprinkle it over the top of each pinwheel evenly.
Bake for 14 to 16 minutes or until pinwheels have just begun to puff and brown. Keep a watchful eye on them as they can quickly go from underdone to burnt.
Allow pinwheels to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing them. Run a knife around the edges to dislodge them if they're stuck to the pan. Serve immediately.
To make the optional glaze, combine the confectioner's sugar and cream or milk in a small bowl, whisking until smooth, and drizzle over the pinwheels.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, though they are best enjoyed the day they are baked.
