Indulge in a dessert that is not only a feast for your taste buds but also a visual treat. The Apple Rose Shaped Dessert is a delectable and stunning dish that will surely impress your guests or loved ones. Made with simple ingredients like apples, lemon, puff pastry, apricot jam, and flour, this dessert is a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The best part? It’s easy to make!

Ingredients:

  • 2 red delicious apples
  • Half a lemon
  • One sheet of thawed puff pastry
  • Apricot jam
  • Flour

Instructions:

  1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 C).
  2. Prepare the Apples: First, remove the core and cut the apples into thin slices. This is essential for making the apple roses. Take a bowl, squeeze half a lemon into it and add a cup of water. Add the sliced apples into this lemon-water mixture. This not only prevents the apples from browning but also helps in making them more flexible for shaping.
  3. Microwave the Apples: Drain out all the water from the apples and then microwave them for about 3 minutes. This will make them softer and easier to roll.
  4. Prepare the Pastry: Unwrap one sheet of thawed puff pastry and lightly dust the surface with flour to prevent sticking. Cut the pastry into 6 equal strips.
  5. Spread the Jam: Spread a thin layer of apricot jam on each strip. This will add a sweet and tangy flavor to the dessert.
  6. Assemble the Roses: Place the apple slices on the dough, with the skin side of the slices sticking out a little over the top of the dough. Fold the dough in half and then carefully roll it. Make sure to keep the apple slices in place while rolling.
  7. Bake: Place the assembled apple roses in a muffin tin and bake them in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and fully cooked.

Serve these beautiful and delicious apple rose shaped desserts warm, perhaps with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy this blooming treat that is perfect for any occasion!

Note: Ensure that the apple slices are thin and flexible enough to roll without breaking. Also, be careful not to overfill the pastry with jam as it may cause the dough to become soggy during baking. Adjust the quantity of jam as per your taste preference.
