ingredients
- 2 large apples
- 4 tablespoons sugar, divided
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- juice of 1 lemon
- 1 package puff pastry, thawed
- 1/2 cup apricot jam
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Step 2
Spray a 6-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray. Set aside.
Step 3
Cut the apples in half, remove the core and slices into very thin slices. Leave the peel on. Place the sliced apples in a microwave bowl, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of sugar and gently coat apples.
Step 4
Microwave the apples on high power for 2 minutes to soften (you want them pliable). Remove and sprinkle with lemon juice. Let cool for 15 minutes. Transfer the apples to a strainer that’s been set over a bowl, then allow apples to drain. Reserve the juice and add it to the melty apricot jam.
Step 5
Remove the puff pastry from the refrigerator and place it on a lightly floured work surface. Roll the dough out slightly and cut into 3 strips. You will repeat this with the second sheet. Mix remaining 2 tablespoons of the sugar w/ the cinnamon in a small bowl.
Step 6
Arrange the apple slices in a shingle pattern on the top edge of one of the strips of dough, overlapping one another making sure the top (skin side) of the apple slices sticks over the top edge of the strip. Brush bottom part with jam and then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
Step 7
Fold up the bottom part of the dough so the edges meet. Starting at one end, roll up the strip to resemble a rose. Place the rose into one of the cups of the prepared muffin tin. Repeat with the other 5 strips.
Step 8
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and brush the tops with the jam mixture.
