1️⃣ Prep the Apples
Core apples, slice paper-thin (a mandoline helps!).
Toss with lemon juice, sugar, and cinnamon. Microwave 1-2 mins to soften.
2️⃣ Assemble the Roses
Cut pastry into 6 long strips (~2 inches wide).
Layer apple slices along the top half of each strip, overlapping slightly.
Fold the bottom half of the pastry over the apples, then roll tightly.
3️⃣ Bake to Golden Perfection
Place in a greased muffin tin (keeps shape).
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 mins until golden.
4️⃣ Serve & Impress!
Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with caramel, and pair with:
🍨 Vanilla ice cream
🥛 Whipped cream
☕ Hot coffee
💡 Pro Tips for Perfect Roses
✔ Thaw pastry just enough – Too soft = hard to handle
✔ Overlap apples tightly – Prevents gaps when rolling
✔ No muffin tin? Use ramekins or free-form on a tray
✔ Make ahead – Assemble unbaked, refrigerate, then bake fresh
🔄 Delicious Variations
🍓 Berry Roses – Swap apples for strawberries + jam
🍯 Nutty Caramel – Add chopped pecans before rolling
🍫 Chocolate Drizzle – Melt chocolate over baked roses
❓ FAQs (Solved!)
Q: Can I use canned apples?
A: Yes! Pat dry first to avoid soggy pastry.
Q: How to store leftovers?
A: 2 days at room temp – Reheat in air fryer for crispiness.
Q: No puff pastry? Use phyllo dough (brush with butter between layers).
🎯 Final Tip: Serve Warm!
The flaky layers + tender apples shine brightest fresh from the oven.
