Baked apple roses

You’ve probably seen these on social media – I saw a ‘proper tasty’ video of these beauties and wondered how patient I would have to be to create something similar. I was really pleased with my first attempt. I don’t have a microwave so I made sure that I sliced the apples as thinly as I could and boiled them in lemon water until they were very soft.

Baked apple roses

Author Proper tasty

Yield 6 roses

Ingredients

  • 4 apples, cored and halved (leave the skin on)
  • Juice from ½ lemon
  • 3 tbsp jam (I used apricot)
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 sheet of puff pastry
  • Cinnamon to taste
  • Serve with ice cream or custard and a drizzle of maple syrup if you have a sweet tooth.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 190°C.
  • Slice the apples into very thin strips and add to a pan of boiling water and half the lemon juice and cook until soft (about 7-10mins)
  • Pat the apples dry with a clean tea towel
  • Dust a work surface with icing sugar
  • Cut the pastry to make 6 long strips about 3 inches wide.
  • In a bowl mix the jam with 1-2 tbsp of water and add to the center of the pastry in one long strip
  • Place the apple slices along the jam strip, leaving enough pastry at the bottom of the apple so you can  fold the pastry over half of the apple slices
  • This bit isn't as tricky as it sounds - roll the strips carefully (from one end to the other) until you get something that resembles a rose
  • Carefully place the rose in a muffin tin for 40-50mins (if the apples start to brown too much, cover them in tin foil, and place back in the oven, you don't want soggy pastry!) 
  • Leave to cool slightly before eating
  • Enjoy with wine. You deserve it for making something as impressive as these apple roses (your friends will be in awe and you'll make your parents proud).
