The Best puff pastry apple rosettes recipe

I’m so excited to share with you my favorite puff pastry apple rosettes recipe. I’ve been making this dish for years, and it’s always a hit with my family and friends. The combination of flaky puff pastry, tender apples, and sweet caramelized sugar is absolute perfection.

It’s a great recipe for any occasion, whether it’s a holiday dinner or a quick weeknight meal. Plus, it’s surprisingly easy to make, even for a beginner in the kitchen. The key to this recipe is using high-quality ingredients, especially the puff pastry.

Look for a brand that’s made with real butter and has a good balance of layers. This will ensure that your pastry turns out light and flaky, rather than dense and heavy. When it comes to the apples, I like to use a mix of Granny Smith and Gala for the best flavor and texture.

You can also use other varieties, but be sure to adjust the amount of sugar accordingly. The most important thing to remember when making this recipe is to not overwork the dough. Mix it just until the ingredients come together in a ball, then let it rest before rolling it out.

This will prevent the pastry from becoming tough and difficult to work with.

🥘Ingredients

For the Pastry

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, beaten

For the Apple Filling

2 apples, peeled and thinly sliced
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp lemon juice

For the Topping

1 tbsp granulated sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat oven to 400°F.
2Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
4Add apple slices, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
5Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender and slightly caramelized, about 10 minutes.
6Remove from heat and set aside.
7Unfold the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
8Roll out the pastry slightly to make it easier to cut.
9Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the pastry into 8 equal rectangles.
10Place a few apple slices in a line along the short end of each rectangle, leaving a small border.
11Roll up the pastry tightly around the apples to form a rosette shape.
12Place the rosettes seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
13Brush the tops of the rosettes with the beaten egg.
14In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon.
15Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the rosettes.
16Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
17The rosettes should be firm to the touch and the apples should be bubbling slightly.
18Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
19This allows the pastry to crisp up slightly and makes it easier to handle.
