Ingredients
6 Servings
- 3 apple
- 3 tablespoons apricot preserves
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- powdered sugar
- 1 sheet puff pastry
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin.
Step 2
Cut the apples in half, remove the core, and slice them thinly. Place the slices in a bowl with lemon juice and some water. Microwave for about 3 minutes until they are slightly softened.
Step 3
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into 6 strips.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the apricot preserves with a teaspoon of water. Spread a thin layer of the mixture on each strip of puff pastry.
Step 5
Arrange the apple slices along one edge of each strip, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
Step 6
Fold the bottom half of the puff pastry over the apple slices and carefully roll the strip to form a rose shape. Place each rose in a prepared muffin tin.
Step 7
Bake for about 40-45 minutes, until the pastry is golden and fully cooked.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar. Serve warm or at room temperature.
