Description
Deliciously sweet and elegant apple roses made with puff pastry, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (2 sheets) Pepperidge Farms puff pastry sheets
- 3 medium-sized red apples (I used Fuji apples)
- ½ lemon (juiced)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 4 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
- Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly coat a muffin pan with nonstick spray.
- Wash the apples thoroughly, then cut them in half lengthwise and remove the core.
- With the cut side down, slice the apples thinly to create half-moon slices.
- Place the sliced apples into a bowl and squeeze the juice of half a lemon over them.
- Sprinkle 1–2 teaspoons of sugar along with a small pinch of cinnamon onto the apple slices. Toss until evenly coated, and set aside the remaining sugar and cinnamon for later.
- Melt the butter and brush it onto one side of each sheet of puff pastry.
- Combine the reserved sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle it evenly over the buttered side of the puff pastry sheets.
- Cut each puff pastry sheet into six equal strips.
- Arrange a few apple slices along each strip of pastry, ensuring they overlap slightly. Fold the pastry strip over the apples so that the apples are sandwiched between the pastry strips.
- Carefully roll each strip into a rose shape and place it into the prepared muffin tray. Repeat until all 12 apple roses are formed.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and fully cooked.
- Let the apple roses cool in the tray for about 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- These apple roses can be topped with powdered sugar for an extra sweet touch.
- Ensure the puff pastry is thawed properly before use for best results.
