Apple Roses

Ingredients to make 6 roses:

• 1 frozen puff pastry sheet
• 2 apples
• half lemon juice
• 3 tbsp apricot jam
• cinnamon
• powder sugar for decorating

Directions:

• thaw the puff pastry, 
• prepare a bowl with some water and the lemon juice,
• cut the apples in half, remove the core and cut the apples in paper thin slices,
• place the sliced apples in the bowl with lemon and water, so that they won't change color,
• microwave the apples in the bowl, for about 3 minutes, to make them slightly softer,
• using a rolling pin stretch the dough a little, trying to keep it in a rectangular shape and cut the dough in 6 strips,
• in a bowl, place three tablespoons of apricot preserve with two tablespoons of water, so that the jam will be easier to spread,
• spread the jam on the dough,
• preheat the oven to 200 degrees C,
• place the apples on the dough and sprinkle with cinnamon if you'd like,
• fold up the bottom part of the dough,
• Carefully roll, seal the edge, and place in a silicone muffin cup or in a pan,
• Bake for about 40 minutes until fully cooked. Be Happy!!!
