Ingredients
  

  • 1 box puff pastry (2 sheets)
  • 3 red apples
  • ½ lemon juice
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon powder
  • Powdered sugar optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175°C) and prepare a muffin tray with nonstick spray.
  • Wash the apples, cut them in half lengthwise, and remove the core.
  • Slice the apples thinly widthwise, keeping the open side of the apple down.
  • Put the thinly sliced apples in a bowl and add the juice of half a lemon.
  • Add 1-2 teaspoons of sugar and a small pinch of cinnamon to the apples and mix until well combined. Set aside the remaining sugar and cinnamon.
  • Melt the butter and brush it onto one side of each puff pastry sheet.
  • Mix the remaining sugar and cinnamon together and spread it over the buttered puff pastry side.
  • Cut each puff pastry sheet into six even strips.
  • Place a few slices of apple along the strip of puff pastry and fold it over so that the apple slices are in between.
  • Gently roll up the apple and pastry into a rose shape and place it in the prepared muffin tray. Repeat until all 12 roses are rolled up.
  • Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Allow to cool for 10 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar and serving.
