There are times where you take a bite of your food that makes you go "woah". Your eyes widen, you take a look at your food, and you observe what is making it so good and special. Then you take another bite, smiling as you do so because it is just so damn good. So what makes this delicious apple rose pastry dessert so special? It is the simple, basic ingredient- puff pastries- that I am introducing today on Knotuself. It is one of the most easiest desserts I have made that still looks complex, intricate, and like you spent all day baking on. Best of all, it is beautiful and elegant.
- 1 puff pastry
- 2 tablespoon of apricot preserve
- 2 delicious apples
- 1/2 lemon
Not Pictured:
- Muffin/cupcake pan to make the pastry
- Flour
1. Allow for the puff pastry to thaw out.
2. Cut 2 apples into very thin slices.
3. In a bowl filled halfway with water, squeeze 1/2 a lemon to mix with the water.
5. Once the apples have been heated, drain the liquids out.
6. In a separate bowl, place 2 tablespoon of apricot preserve and 1 tablespoon of water. Microwave for 1 minute.
7. Roll out the thawed out puff pastry with some flour. (Using a roller will be the easiest way)
11. Fold the empty side of the puff pastry over the apples, and then begin to roll from one side to the other.
12. Place the pastry in a muffin/cupcake pan.
13. Bake the pastry in a 375 degree oven for about 40 minutes.
14. Sprinkle some powered sugar on top of pastry if desired.
15. ENJOY!!
