Description
Delightful pastries featuring thinly sliced apples shaped like roses, enveloped in buttery puff pastry.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet Puff Pastry (thawed)
- 2 Red Apples (thinly sliced)
- 2 tbsp Melted Butter
- 1/4 cup Apricot Jam or Honey
- Dash of Cinnamon
- Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- Prep the Apples: Thinly slice the red apples, aiming for uniform pieces that are about 1/8 inch thick. To soften the slices and make them pliable, place the apple slices in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave them for 45 seconds.
- Prepare the Pastry: Lay out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry sheet into long strips, about 2-3 inches wide.
- Layering the Flavors: Spread a thin layer of apricot jam along each strip of pastry. Line the top edge with your softened apple slices, overlapping them slightly.
- Rolling into Roses: Gently fold the bottom of the pastry strip over the apple slices and roll it up tightly to form a rose shape.
- Baking: Nestle each rose into a greased muffin tin, brush the tops with melted butter, and sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake at 190°C (375°F) for 25–30 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
- Finishing Touches: Dust with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish.
Notes
Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare the apple slices and jam a few hours in advance. Cooking Alternatives: You can use an air fryer for a lighter finish.
