Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 box (2 sheets) of Pepperidge Farms puff pastry sheets
- 3 red apples (I used Fuji apples)
- ½ lemon, juice
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp cinnamon powder
- 2 tbsp butter
- Powdered sugar, optional
How to Make Puff Pastry Apple Roses
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a muffin tray with nonstick spray.
- Wash the apples, cut them in half lengthwise, and remove the core.
- Slice the apples thinly widthwise, keeping the open side of the apple down.
- Put the thinly sliced apples in a bowl and add the juice of half a lemon.
- Add 1-2 teaspoons of sugar and a small pinch of cinnamon to the apples and mix until well combined. Set aside the remaining sugar and cinnamon.
- Melt the butter and brush it onto one side of each puff pastry sheet.
- Mix the remaining sugar and cinnamon together and spread it over the buttered puff pastry side.
- Cut each puff pastry sheet into six even strips.
- Place a few slices of apple along the strip of puff pastry and fold it over so that the apple slices are in between.
- Gently roll up the apple and pastry into a rose shape and place it in the prepared muffin tray. Repeat until all 12 roses are rolled up.
- Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
