These apple churro rings with puff pastry are a fun, easy dessert made with fresh Autumn Glory apples, cinnamon sugar, and flaky pastry.

Coated in a churro-style spice blend and finished with a hint of vanilla, these apple rings are simple to make and full of flavor. Serve them warm with ice cream or whipped cream for a quick, crowd-pleasing treat.
