RECIPE

For this recipe it requires the following ingredients.

Apples: Use crispy and red apples for this recipe like Jazz apple, Gala, Pink Lady or Honeycrisp.
Puff Pastry: This is the key ingredient to make these amazing baked apple roses easily. The only thing you need is to thaw the puff pastry and then cut it into strips. If you use a puff pastry block, then you need to roll it out first and then cut into strips.
Cream Cheese: There are varieties of cream cheese at markets. As this is a dessert recipe, use plain cream cheese; preferably full-fat.
Brown sugar: It is better in baking but you can definitely use regular sugar. If you want refined sugar-free pastry roses, use coconut sugar instead.
Butter: For brushing the muffin tin. You can just use a cooking spray instead.

How Do You Make A Rose

Out Of An Apple?

To make a rose out of an apple, you need to slice the apple first and then cook them for 1-2 minutes until they get flexible enough. The rest is the fun part.

Arrange these softened apple slices on a puff pastry strip so that half of them overlap on another and roll it up to make an apple rose dessert. It is that easy! Read on for more details and step by step pictures.

How To Make The Recipe

Making apple rose pastry is way easier than you think. The recipe has two main folds:

Preparing apples: Slice the apples (with their skin on) thinly, but don’t make them paper thin. A sharp knife will work well for this. No need for a mandoline.

Immediately transfer them into a water and lemon juice mixture. This will prevent them from losing their color. Cook them until slightly soft. Drain the apple slices and transfer them on a kitchen towel. Alternatively, you can microwave the apples on high power for 90 seconds.

Making apple roses following the steps below.

Cut a puff pastry sheet into 6-7 strips. Spread cream cheese and sprinkle sugar (and cinnamon if you want) over it or spread apricot jam.

Place apple slices on the upper edge of strips so that half of them overlaps one another and their skin side is sticking out. Fold up the bottom of the strip.

So that’s how you make Puff Pastry Apple Roses. These will become a family favorite! Enjoy them with family or friends during holiday seasons!
