Ingredients

  • 1 box Pepperidge Farms puff pastry sheets
  • 3 red apples (I used Fuji, but any crisp variety works)
  • ½ Juice of a lemon
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp butter (melted)
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon powder
  • Powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a muffin tin with nonstick spray.
  • Wash and core your apples, then slice them super thin—I like to keep the red skin on for that pretty rose-petal look.
  • Toss the slices into a bowl with the juice of half a lemon, a teaspoon or two of sugar, and a pinch of cinnamon.
  • Unfold the puff pastry sheets and brush them with your melted butter. Sprinkle the remaining sugar and cinnamon mixture generously over the buttered side.
  • Now, cut each sheet into 6 long strips (you’ll end up with 12 total).
  • Take one strip of puff pastry and arrange a few apple slices along the top half, letting the red peel peek out over the edge.
  • Fold the bottom half of the pastry strip up over the apples (kind of like tucking them in). Then, gently roll the strip into a spiral! Place it in the muffin tray, and repeat for the rest of the strips.
  • Pop your tray in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the roses are golden and the pastry is puffed and flaky.
  • Once the apple roses are out of the oven, let them cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Serve and Enjoy! Dust them with powdered sugar to make them look extra pretty.
