Ingredients
- 2 large apples preferably red, like Honeycrisp or Gala
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
- 3 tablespoons apricot jam or any light-colored jam
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Core the apples, and then use a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer to slice them thinly.
- Mix the apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and cut it into 2-inch wide strips.
- Microwave the apricot jam and a little water to thin it, then brush each strip of pastry with this mixture.
- Arrange the apple slices on the top half of the pastry strip, overlapping slightly, with the skin side sticking out.
- Sprinkle cinnamon over the apple slices.
- Fold the bottom half of the pastry strip over the bottom of the apples.
- Starting from one end, gently roll the strip to form a rose shape.
- Place the rose pies into a greased muffin tin.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before removing from muffin tin and serving.
