🔪 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the Apples
Cut apples in half, core them, and slice very thinly (use a mandoline or a sharp knife).

Place slices in a bowl with water and lemon juice.

Microwave for 2–3 minutes to soften (so they roll easily) or simmer gently on the stove for a few minutes.

Drain and pat dry.

2. Prepare the Puff Pastry
Roll out the puff pastry slightly on a floured surface.

Cut into 6 equal strips lengthwise (about 2 inches wide).

3. Assemble the Roses
Mix sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.

In another small bowl, mix jam with a splash of water and microwave for about 20 seconds until smooth.

Spread a thin layer of jam over each puff pastry strip.

Lay apple slices along the top half of each strip, overlapping slightly with the rounded edges sticking out beyond the dough (this creates the “petal” look).

Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

Fold the bottom half of the dough up over the apple slices.

Carefully roll each strip into a rose shape and place into a greased muffin tin.

4. Bake
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the pastry is golden and cooked through. Cover with foil halfway through if the apples start to brown too much.

5. Cool & Serve
Let cool slightly, then remove gently from the tin.

Dust with powdered sugar for a pretty finish.

🌟 Tips
Use red-skinned apples for the most beautiful “rose petal” effect.

These are best the same day but can be stored in the fridge and reheated gently.

Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra flair.
