Preheat oven to 400°F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

Thaw puff pastry sheets according to package directions, keeping them cold.

Gently mash fresh raspberries with sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice in bowl.

Add vanilla and almond extracts to raspberry mixture, stirring until combined.

Let raspberry filling sit for 10 minutes to allow juices to develop fully.

Mix softened butter with powdered sugar and vanilla for butter layer spread.

Roll out first puff pastry sheet on lightly floured surface to smooth.

Spread thin layer of butter mixture evenly across entire pastry surface.

Spread raspberry jam in thin layer over the butter, leaving 1-inch border.

Distribute half of raspberry filling evenly over the jam layer carefully.

Sprinkle brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg over the raspberry filling evenly.

Roll out second puff pastry sheet and place over filled bottom sheet.

Press edges together gently to seal, then trim excess pastry if needed.

Cut pastry rectangle into 12 equal strips using sharp knife or pizza wheel.

Twist each strip 3-4 times, creating spiral effect, and place on baking sheets.

Brush each twist with beaten egg wash for golden, glossy finish.
