Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the cinnamon sugar mixture: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Roll out the puff pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry into a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick.
- Brush with melted butter: Using a pastry brush, evenly brush the melted butter over the entire surface of the puff pastry.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the melted butter, covering the entire surface of the puff pastry.
- Cut into strips: Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the puff pastry into strips about 1 inch wide.
- Twist the strips: Take each strip of puff pastry and gently twist it several times to create a spiral shape. Place the twisted strips onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each twist.
- Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake the cinnamon twists for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up.
- Cool and serve: Once baked, remove the cinnamon twists from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet. Serve warm and enjoy!
