Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 2 red apples (such as Gala or Honeycrisp)
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (thawed)
- 3 tablespoons apricot preserves
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- powdered sugar for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare the tin: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 6-cup muffin tin or line with parchment.
- Prepare the apples: Slice the apples in half, remove the cores, and cut them into very thin slices. Microwave the slices with lemon juice and water until soft, then drain.
- Prepare the pastry: Roll out the puff pastry, cut it into strips, and spread apricot preserves on each strip.
- Assemble the roses: Arrange apple slices on the pastry, roll them up to form a rose shape, and place in the muffin tin.
- Bake: Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake for 35–40 minutes until golden brown. Cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use a mandoline for evenly thin apple slices.
- If the pastry browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil during baking.
