A delightful dessert that combines the sweetness of apples with the flakiness of puff pastry, resembling blooming roses.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium red apples (Honeycrisp or Pink Lady)
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons apricot jam (or any light fruit preserve)
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • Extra flour for rolling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apples: Slice the apples in half, core them, and cut into very thin slices about 1/16-inch thick. Place the slices in a microwave-safe bowl with lemon juice and enough water to cover. Microwave for 2 to 3 minutes until flexible but not mushy. Drain and set aside to cool.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry: Lightly flour your work surface and roll the thawed puff pastry into a 12 x 9-inch rectangle. Cut the pastry lengthwise into 6 equal strips, each measuring 2 x 9 inches.
  3. Add the filling: In a small bowl, combine the apricot jam and 1 tablespoon of water. Microwave for about 30 seconds until warm and fluid. Spread a thin layer of the jam mixture onto each pastry strip. Sprinkle with cinnamon if using.
  4. Assemble the roses: Arrange the apple slices along the top half of each pastry strip, overlapping slightly, with the red peel edge sticking out. Fold the bottom half of the pastry strip up over the apple slices, then gently roll the strip from one end to the other to form a rose shape. Place each rolled rose into a lightly greased muffin tin.
  5. Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the pastry is golden and fully baked. Cover with foil if necessary during the last 10 minutes of baking.
  6. Finish: Cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Store in an airtight container for up to two days at room temperature.
