APPLE ROSE PUFFED PASTRIES

When I first saw a picture of this apple pastry on Facebook, 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!  🙂

INGREDIENTS, makes 12 apple roses

3 apples

2 sheets of puffed pastries, thawed

6 Tablespoons of apricot preserves

4 Tablespoons of water

juice of 1/2 a lemon or 2 Tablespoons of lemon juice

cinnamon

sugar

How To Make Apple Rose Pastries

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F

Remove puffed pastries from freezer and thaw according to package

Slice the apples in half from top to bottom

Remove the core ends and then scoop out the core in the center

Slice the apples into very thin slices

Fill a medium sized bowl half full of water and squeeze the lemon juice into the water.

Place the sliced apples in the water and microwave for 5 minutes until slightly tender.

Drain the apples into a colander.

Mix the apricot preserves and water together in a bowl.

When pastries are thawed, place them flat on a floured surface.

Roll the pastries out with a rolling pin the flatten just a little more.

Cut each pastry into 6 equal slices.

One at a time, spoon apricot preserve mixture onto a slice of pastry.

Place 7-9 apple slices along one half of the pastry slice with the peel side facing out.

Fold the pastry in half to cover the apples.

Starting on one end, roll the pastry and apples to the other end of the pastry.

Place in a muffin tin.

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)

Place a pan of water on the bottom rack of oven so the bottom of pastries do not burn.

Bake at 375 for 40 -45 minutes.

Top with a little powered sugar if desired as well.

ENJOY!!!
