Ingredients You’ll Need
Gather these ingredients to create your sweet sensations:
- 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed)
- 2 large apples (I recommend Granny Smith for that tart kick!)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons sugar (or more if you’re feeling sweet!)
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Flour for dusting
- Water (to help seal your pastry)
Instructions to Bring Your Roses to Life
- Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). The magic is about to begin!
- Next, slice your apples in half, remove the core, and slice them thinly. If they’re not cooperating, give them a little dunk in a bowl of water mixed with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- In another bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon. This is the sweet stuff that’ll make your roses irresistible!
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into strips about 2 inches wide.
- Place the apple slices along one edge of the pastry strip, stacking them slightly. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the apples to add that sweet touch.
- Fold the bottom half of the pastry strip up to cover the bottom of the apple slices, and roll it up tightly. Voila — you have yourself a rose! Repeat with the remaining strips and apple slices.
- Place your roses in a greased muffin tin and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and flakey. Your kitchen will smell heavenly!
- Once out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes before dusting with powdered sugar.
Now sit back and watch as everyone marvels at your delightful, edible garden. These Apple Roses are not just a treat; they’re a show-stopper! Enjoy your baking!
