Equipment
- Sharp knife or mandoline slicer
- Muffin tray
- Rolling Pin
- Pastry Brush
- Microwave-safe bowl
- Oven
Ingredients
• 2 medium red apples
• 1 puff pastry sheet
• 3 tablespoons apricot jam or apple jam
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 cups water
• 1 teaspoon butter (optional)
• Powdered sugar for garnish
• Honey drizzle (optional)
Instructions
1. Wash the apples, remove the seeds, and cut them into very thin slices, then soak them briefly in lemon water to soften.
2. Thaw the puff pastry sheet, roll it lightly, and cut it into long, equal strips.
3. Spread jam over each strip and sprinkle cinnamon sugar evenly on top.
4. Place the apple slices in an overlapping line along one edge, keeping the red peel slightly above the pastry edge.
5. Fold the pastry over the apples and roll each strip tightly but gently into a rose shape.
6. Place each rose in a muffin tray and bake until golden brown and crisp.
Notes
- Use red apples for the most beautiful rose-petal effect.
- Slice the apples very thin for easy rolling.
- Do not overfill the pastry strips.
- A muffin tray helps keep the shape neat while baking.
- Brush with warm jam after baking for extra shine.
- Serve warm with powdered sugar or ice cream for a better taste.
