### Instructions
**1. Preheat and Prepare**
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
**2. Make the Filling**
In a bowl, toss the diced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Let sit while you prepare the pastry.
**3. Assemble the Bundles**
Roll out the puff pastry sheet and cut it into 6 even squares. Place one ladyfinger in the center of each square. Top with a spoonful of the apple mixture.
**4. Fold and Seal**
Bring the corners of each square up and over the filling, pinching to seal and form a bundle. You can twist the ends or leave slightly open for a rustic look.
**5. Egg Wash and Bake**
Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until puffed and deep golden brown.
**6. Serve**
Let cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with caramel. Serve warm on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

### Tips and Variations

– **Use pears instead**: This recipe works wonderfully with diced pears and cardamom for a fresh take.
– **Make it mini**: Cut pastry into smaller squares for bite-sized treats perfect for parties.
