I love baking and would love to try any different recipe I come across. Baked Apple Roses is one such dessert recipe that I came across on Face book and I knew that I had to make it.

I have been baking for a while now, but just recently I have developed this liking towards shaped breads and pastries. This Baked Apple Rose looked so adorable, but is really simple to make.

All it takes is couple of apples and a sheet of puff pastry. I always have a package of phyllo and puff pastry sheet in my freezer as it is really quick to whip up some snack with those.

My puff pastry sheets were mainly used to make vegetable puffs. I have made apple strudel using the store bought puff pastry sheet. Baked Apple Roses recipe is sort of similar to the apple strudel, except it is much simpler to make and looks really beautiful. It is a lovely center piece dessert when expecting company.

Baked Apple Roses is not a very sweet dessert as there is no added sugar in the recipe. The only sweetness is from the apple and the little bit of fruit preserve that we use. Make sure you choose some sweet apples to make these. Serve these warm with some ice cream and it will make up for a lovely dessert.

Preparation time – 10 minutes
Baking time – 30 minutes
Difficulty level – easy
Recipe adapted from – Tip Hero

2 apple rose served in blue plate with fork

Ingredients to make Baked Apple Roses – Makes 6 roses

  • Apple – 2 medium
  • Puff pastry sheet – 1
  • Apricot preserve – 3 tbsp (or any other preserve)
  • Water – 2 tbsp
  • Cinnamon – as needed
  • Lemon juice – 1 tbsp
rose made of apple

Procedure

  • Preparing the apples – Cut the apple in half and remove the core. Lay the halved apple flat on the work surface and make thin slices with a sharp knife.
  • Place the sliced apples in a microwave safe bowl and add enough water to immerse the apples. Add lemon juice and mix once. Microwave on high for 3 to 4 minutes. This will make the apples soft and it will be easy to work with them. Depending on the thickness of the apple slice, you might need a minute more or less to soften. I needed about 4 minutes.

  • Dust with cinnamon and then fold the puff pastry sheet over the apple.
  • Starting with one side, gently roll the puff pastry in a jelly roll style. Don’t roll it too tight.
step by step process for shaping and rolling and apple roses
  • Place the rolled pastries in a well greased muffin tin. Repeat the same with the rest of the sheets.

    Such a pretty, dainty dish. Perfect dessert for the autumn brunch or afternoon pick me up tea. I'm thinking these would be great with a cuppa apple cider tea.

    Wow! These are gorgeous! I actually like tart apples rather than sweet and puff pastry is my weakness so these are a huge must-try!
