Beautiful Baked Apple Roses

Step 1

– Preheat Oven to 375 degrees

Step 2

– Put apple slices in microwave safe bowl. Fill bowl with water and juice from half a lemon. Use enough water to make sure apple slices are covered by water. Microwave for 3 minutes. This will soften the apple slices and make them more pliable for rolling up.

Step 3

– Next grab a sheet of puff pastry. Flour your board and roll out the puff pastry enough to make 6 strips at 3 inches wide. I scored and cut mine with a pizza wheel put you can use a knife.

Step 4

– In a bowl mix your favorite fruit preserves with a couple tablespoons of water. Then spoon out the preserves in the center of the strip of puff pastry.

Step 5

– Next place the apple slices long ways halfway on the strip. Keep adding slices until you reach the end. Then fold the puff pastry over the bottom of the apple slices.

Step 6

– Roll up the puff pastry and place in a greased muffin tin.

Step 7

– Bake the apple roses for 35-45 minutes.

Step 8

– Pull out of oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
