These Apple Rose Puffed Pastries are a simple yet elegant way to serve a unique dessert.  Follow this easy step by step tutorial to make them for your next brunch or Holiday gathering instead of apple pie.

Apple Rose Puffed Pastries recipe on a silver platter.

When I first saw a picture of this apple pastry I thought they were the most beautiful dessert ever. They are little rose apple pies and a wonderful alternative to traditional apple pie.

Of course, I thought they must be extremely hard to make.  But I’m so happy I was wrong about that!   This recipe is much easier to make than they look!

I bought Pepperidge Farm puffed pastries in the freezer section of the grocery store. I have seen them many times but I have never used them for any baking.  There is always time for firsts. 🙂

All you have to do is cut 3 apples in half from top to bottom. Slice them thin. Roll the pastries a little bit and cut them into 6 equal strips.

Then, spread a little apricot preserves. Place the apples slices. Fold, roll, place in a muffin tin and bake.

Ta-da! Gorgeous little apple rose pastries to wow your family and friends with.

I served them warm with a little vanilla ice cream too.  Yummy yum yum!  🙂

Continue with the other pieces of pastries until you have 12 apple roses.

Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar if desired.  (I mix 1 TBSP cinnamon to 3TBSP of sugar)

Bake at 375 for 40 -45 minutes.

Top with a little powered sugar if desired as well.

ENJOY!!!

      No, these need to be baked in the oven. I do re-heat them in the microwave for about 10 seconds though. I like to eat them warm 🙂
