Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 2 Place apples in a large bowl. Stir in brown sugar, raisins, flour, and salt; set aside.
  3. 3 Place 1 sheet pastry on a lightly floured work surface. Roll lightly into an approximately 10 x 12-inch rectangle. Arrange 1/2 of the filling (about 3 cups) down one side of pastry lengthwise. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut even diagonal slits along both long sides of the pastry, stopping just short of the filling; these cuts will make it easier to braid the pastry over the filling.
  4. 4 Starting at one end, fold the strips over the filling, alternating sides to create a braided pattern and enclosing the filling completely. Dampen edges of pastry with water; press or crimp borders to seal. Repeat with 2nd pastry sheet and remaining apple mixture.
  5. 5 Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 2-inches between pastries. Whisk egg and milk together in a small bowl; brush over each pastry. Cut 3 or 4 slits on top of each pastry to allow steam to escape.
  6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 30 to 35 minutes.
