Now that it's getting colder outside and the holiday season
has started, it's time to start baking. Here's a recipe based on one that we
found on the Internet--Apple Roses by Manuela.
Ingredients to make 6 roses:
Ingredients to make 6 roses:
- 1 thawed Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry sheet
- 2 red delicious apples
- 1.5 table spoons lemon, juice
- flour, to sprinkle the counter
- 3 tablespoons of apricot preserve
- cinnamon sugar
- powdered sugar for decorating (optional)
Directions:
Cut the apples in half and remove their cores. Cut the
apples into thin slices. Put slices into a bowl with water and lemon juice (to
prevent browning). Microwave the apples in the bowl for about three minutes to
make them soft.
In a bowl, prepare the apricot preserve. Add three table
spoons of apricot preserve with two tablespoons of water. Microwave for about a
minute and mix together.
Roll out the thawed pastry puff on a lightly floured
counter. Cut the dough into six strips. Each strip should be about 2” x 9” in
size.
Spread the apricot preserves onto each pastry puff strip and
sprinkle cinnamon sugar.
After draining the apples, place the apples on the dough.
About half the apple slice should be on the dough and each apple slice should
cover about half the slice under it.
Fold over the dough leaving half the apple slices exposed.
Roll each slice. Each apple rose should fit into a greased muffin pan.
Cook at 375 degrees F for about 40 to 45 minutes until fully
cooked.
Sprinkle with powered sugar when finished.
