🥘Ingredients

For the Apple Roses

2 large red apples (such as Fuji or Gala)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons apricot jam

For the Pastry Base

1 sheet puff pastry (about 9×9 inches), thawed
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2Halve and core the apples, then slice them into very thin half-moons about 1/8 inch thick using a mandoline or sharp knife.
3In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the apple slices, lemon juice, sugar, and cinnamon.
4Microwave on high for 2 minutes until the apples soften slightly and become pliable.
5Drain any excess liquid and let cool.
6On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry sheet into a 12×12 inch square.
7Cut the pastry into 6 strips, each about 2 inches wide and 12 inches long.
8Brush each pastry strip with melted butter.
9Sprinkle a mixture of 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon evenly over the strips.
10Arrange the apple slices along the top half of each pastry strip, overlapping them slightly so the red edges peek out.
11Fold the bottom half of the pastry over the apples to enclose them, pressing gently to seal.
12Roll each pastry strip into a tight spiral to form a rose shape.
13Place each rose into a greased muffin tin cup, ensuring the apple edges are facing upward.
14Bake for 28 to 30 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender.
15Warm the apricot jam in the microwave for 10 seconds, then brush it over the warm roses for a glossy finish.
