leftover puff pastry

I have some left over puff pastry and want to make something easy that dd (4) can join in with. I'm thinking sweet rather than savoury but most of the recipes I've seen have cinnamon in which we both don't like.

some sort of cream slice, mille feuilles

you need to bake the pastry in shapes and then just layer it up with cream and jam, or nutella, or fruit, dust with icing sugar

Cream horns are super too...but you'll need the moulds, or the patience of a saint and use greaseproof

doesn't paul hollywood make spanish custard tarts with puff pastry? You could always leave the cinnamon out if you don't like it.

Apple turnovers.

Roll pastry out thinly, cut into shapes that will fold in two neatly.

Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle brown sugar and a little grated nutmeg. Put some thin slices of peeled apple on one side of the pastry shape.

Fold the other side of the pastry over, and press down the edges with a fork to seal. Brush again with beaten egg and sprinkle with granulated sugar.

Prick with a fork.

Bake at 180C until pastries start to brown and look lovely.

Roll out pastry. Spread with butter&sugar/nutella/jam roll up like a Swiss roll. Cut into chunky slices. Bake. Eat.

Chocolate rolls.

Roll out pastry, spread with Nutella, roll up as a sausage and pop in the fridge to firm up.

Then slice up the sausage and bake the rounds.

Or chocolate twists:

Roll out thinly. Brush with beaten egg. Sprinkle with drinking chocolate powder (or sugar and cocoa powder). Sprinkle chic chips or grated chocolate generously.

Fold pastry in two so that filling is covered over. Roll it slightly to stick together.

Cut strips. Twist them as you transfer to baking tray.

Bake.
