Description

Apple Rose Pastry Blooms are elegant, rose-shaped pastries combining tender apple slices and flaky puff pastry. With simple ingredients and a quick preparation time, this dessert is perfect for special occasions or a refined everyday treat. The warm cinnamon and sweet apple flavors complement each other beautifully, creating an impressive yet easy-to-make sweet treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruit and Fresh Ingredients

  • 2 large firm apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Pastry and Fillings

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 3 tablespoons apricot jam or honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Optional Ingredients

  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Melted butter, for brushing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Wash the apples thoroughly, cut each in half and core them. Slice the apples thinly. Soak the slices in warm water with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice for about 10 minutes to soften and prevent browning.
  2. Roll Out the Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet and gently roll it out to smooth creases and extend it to approximately 12 x 10 inches. Cut the sheet into six equal lengthwise strips.
  3. Mix the Cinnamon and Jam: In a small bowl, combine the apricot jam (or honey) with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Warm slightly to ease spreading.
  4. Assemble the Roses: Spread a thin layer of the cinnamon jam mixture over each puff pastry strip. Arrange apple slices in an overlapping line along one long edge, with rounded edges extending beyond the pastry to mimic rose petals. Fold the bottom edge of each strip over the apple slices to secure.
  5. Roll and Shape: Carefully roll each strip from one end to the other, shaping the apple slices into petals. Place each roll in a muffin tin, petal side up, to hold its shape during baking.
  6. Bake to Golden Perfection: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the pastries for 35 to 40 minutes until the pastry is golden and fully cooked, checking periodically to avoid burning.
  7. Finishing Touches: Allow the blooms to cool slightly. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or brush with melted butter or extra jam for a glossy finish before serving.

Notes

  • Choose thin apple slices to create delicate petals without cracking.
  • Soak apple slices in lemon water to soften and prevent browning.
  • Use cold puff pastry to handle more easily and prevent sticking.
  • Do not overfill with jam to maintain pastry shape.
  • Ensure accurate oven temperature to avoid burning edges.
  • Allow the pastries to cool in the muffin tin to set their shape.
