Apple Ingredients
- 2 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) Provides tartness that complements the sweetness of the preserves.
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed) Forms the base of the tart.
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice Prevents apples from browning.
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar Enhances the natural sweetness of the apples.
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Adds warmth and depth to the flavor.
- 1/4 cup apricot preserves Acts as a sweet glaze.
- 1 tablespoon water Used to thin the apricot preserves.
- Flour for dusting Prevents the pastry from sticking.
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional) Adds elegance when serving.
Prepare the puff pastry by lightly dusting your work surface with flour, unroll the thawed puff pastry sheet, and roll it out thinner. Cut into six equal strips, each about 2 inches wide.
Core and thinly slice the apples, drizzle with lemon juice, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, toss to coat, and microwave for 3 minutes to soften.
Spread a thin layer of apricot preserves on a pastry strip, overlap apple slices along one edge, fold the bottom half over the apples, and roll to form a rose. Place in a greased muffin tin.
Preheat oven to 375°F, bake the muffin tin with apple roses for 25-30 minutes until golden brown, cool slightly, and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
