Cream Cheese & Apple Puffs with Dulce de Leche are flaky little pockets filled with tart apples and cinnamon cream cheese and drizzled with a decadent caramel sauce. With Labor Day weekend over, fall is right around the corner and it is time to start enjoying all of the fantastic flavors of fall such as apple and pumpkin.
My parent’s farm has one of the absolute best apple trees. It produces a fantastically crisp apple that is a perfect balance of sweet and tart and I always steal a large basket of apples every time I am there to visit in the fall. Soon this tree will by mine and there simply aren’t enough apple recipes to enjoy all the goodness!

Soon this tree will by mine and there simply aren’t enough apple recipes to enjoy all the goodness. These puffs are sure to be part of my new rotation of apple recipes though.
This tree sits in a precarious position on the property, and threats have been made over the years to cut it down. It sits in the perfect position where the older one-car garage could be expanded to a two-car garage. There are other apple trees on the property, but they just don’t produce as great of an apple. No house expansion, in my opinion, is worth the loss of this amazing tree though! And besides, I will get to park my car in the one car stall anyways. 😉
