Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 Apple
- 1 Sheet Frozen Puff Pastry
- 1 tbsp Granulated Sugar
- ½ tsp Ground Cinnamon
- Hot water (Big Bowl)
- ½ Lemon Juice
- ¼ Cup Melted Butter
- All Purpose Flour (for dusting)
- 1 tsp Icing sugar (for garnishing)
Instructions
- Grease 4 ramekins or muffin tins with some butter and keep aside. Preheat the oven to 400 degree F.
- In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp granulated sugar and ½ tsp of ground cinnamon and keep it aside.
- Squeeze lemon juice of half a lemon into a big bowl of extremely hot water. Then cut the apple in half and remove the core with the help of a spoon. Using a sharp knife or mandolin cut the apple into thin slices in semi-circle shape (refer to the video).
- Transfer the apples slices in the lemony hot water bowl. Let the apples soak in this water for at least 20 mins. This process will help soften the apple slices.
- Gently roll out the puff pastry dough on a lightly floured surface in the shape of a rectangle. Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the rolled out puff pastry into 4 equal strips, approximately 2.5” by 11” (refer to video).
- Using a pastry brush coat one strip of pastry with melted butter. Then sprinkle some cinnamon sugar.
- Arrange apples along the top of the pastry strip, overlapping each slice by about half.
- Starting at one end, gently roll pastry into a rose shape. Place it gently into a ramekin or muffin tin. Repeat the same process for remaining 3 pastry strips.
- Bake between 50 minutes and 1 hour. If the apples start to get too brown, gently cover them with foil.
- Carefully remove ramekins from the oven and allow them to cool for 5-10 minutes. Run a thin knife around the inner rim of the ramekin to release the roses. Gently remove the Apple Roses and place it onto the serving plate.
- Sprinkle it with some icing sugar and serve immediately.
