Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
  • 1 large apple
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Thinly slice the apple into half-moons, about 1/8 inch thick. In a bowl, combine 2 cups water and 1 tablespoon lemon juice; soak apple slices for 5 minutes to prevent browning.

  2. 2

    Microwave the apple slices in the lemon water for 2 minutes until pliable. Drain and pat dry. Mix 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 2 tablespoons sugar in a small bowl.

  3. 3

    Cut the puff pastry sheet into 4 strips, about 2 inches wide. Sprinkle each strip with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

  4. 4

    Arrange apple slices along the top half of each strip, overlapping slightly. Fold the bottom half of pastry over the apples, then roll up each strip to form a rose shape.

  5. 5

    Place the roses in a muffin tin or on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes until pastry is golden and apples are tender. Let cool slightly before serving.
