Apple Puff Pastry Roses

Ingredients

• 2 red apples

• Puff pastry

• 2 tablespoons salted butter caramel

• Cinnamon or Calvados syrup

• Powdered sugar

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven
   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. Prepare the mold
   Butter a muffin tin to prevent the roses from sticking.

3. Prepare the apples

   • Cut the apples in half and remove the seeds.

   • Slice them thinly to create flexible strips.

4. Prepare the syrup

   • Make a light syrup with cinnamon or Calvados.

   • Poach the apple slices in the syrup to soften them.

   • Reserve the syrup for another use.

5. Prepare the dough

   • Cut the puff pastry into strips.

   • Spread a thin layer of salted butter caramel on each strip.

6. Assemble the roses

   • Lay the apple slices on the upper half of each strip, overlapping slightly.

   • Fold the lower half of the dough over the apples.

   • Gently roll the strip to form a rose.

7. Bake

   • Place the roses in the muffin tin or on a baking sheet.

   • Repeat the process until all ingredients are used.

   • Bake for 28 to 30 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown.

8. Finishing Touch

   • Before serving, sprinkle the roses with powdered sugar for an elegant touch.

Tip
Serve your apple roses with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce for an extra indulgent dessert.
