Cinnamon Apple Cheesecakes in Puff Pastry

Just Grillin carries bold ingredients for Cinnamon Apple Cheesecakes in Puff Pastry:
1 sheet ready-to-bake puff pastry (such as Pepperidge Farm)
8 ounces mascarpone cheese
1 Tbsp. Flour
1 egg
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
2 Tbsp. Granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup Stonewall Kitchen Cinnamon Apple Jelly
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped and toasted

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease every other cup in a mini muffin tin.
2. Roll one sheet of puff pastry on a floured surface to measure 9 x 18 inches. Cut into 18 3-inch squares.
3. Press each pastry piece into each greased muffin cup allowing edges to drape over the edge of the cup.
4. In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment mix the mascarpone cheese, flour, egg, cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla on medium speed until uniform. Fill each pastry ¾ full with cheese filling. Bake approximately 12 minutes or until the pastry is golden and the cheese filling is set.
5. Top each pastry with about 1 tsp. Cinnamon Apple Jelly and sprinkle with toasted chopped walnuts.
