Simple and effective dessert - “Roses from apples”

Rinse the apples and core (seeds). Cut into thin (2-3 mm) slices and place on a flat dish. In a cup, mix lemon juice with water, then sprinkle apple slices with this mixture.

Place the dish in the microwave. Cook for 2-3 minutes at high power. Apple slices should become moderately soft, but at the same time not “fall apart”. Therefore, in order not to miss the moment, cook in pulses of 1 minute. Let them cool.

Finished puff pastry must first be thawed. It is better to do this gradually, in the refrigerator. For example, shift from freezer to refrigerator in the evening. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Roll one of them into a thin layer (3-4 mm) measuring approximately 35X18 cm. For convenience, you can sprinkle a small amount of wheat flour on the work surface during rolling out the dough.

Using a sharp knife (you can use a pizza knife) cut the resulting layer into 3 equal strips. Each should be about 6 cm high.

Grease each piece with apricot jam.

At the top of the strip, lay the apple slices so that they protrude 1/2.

Bend the lower edge to the upper.

Roll each workpiece into a roll and set it upright. Similarly, prepare the remaining roses from apples.

To bake roses from apples, use a metal cupcake mold. Only in this way will the buns retain their shape. Place each workpiece in a cell previously greased with vegetable oil. Bake at 180⁰From until golden, about 20-25 minutes (time depends on your oven).

Remove the finished roses from apples gently from the mold when they cool slightly. Place on a plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Bon Appetit!
