These Apple Roses or Rose Tarts have been very popular in Facebook recently due to Mother’s Day. Besides being a very easy recipe to follow, these Apple Roses are absolutely delicious too. This dessert will definitely impress your loved ones when they’re served on any occasion or even presented as a gift (on Valentine’s Day too). I adapted the recipe from Not Quite Nigella and simplified it by omitting the butter and cinnamon powder. Everyone gave their thumbs up for this beautiful dessert. 🙂
Pretty!

Serves: makes 6
Ingredients
- 2 red apples
- 1 cup water with lemon juice of a ½ lemon
- 1 tbsp apricot jam with 1 tbsp water
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (thaw pastry in the fridge before use)
- little flour to roll pastry
- butter for brushing (omitted)
- ¼ tsp cinnamon powder (omitted)
- 6 cupcake cases and place into muffin pan
- some icing sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200 deg C.
- Add the lemon juice to the water. Cut the apples in half with skin on and core them with melon scoop and cut into thin slices, about 2mm.
- Place the sliced apples into the bowl of lemon water. Microwave (about 3-4 minutes) until the apples are pliable, soft but not mushy.
- Drain the apple slices and dry them with kitchen towel.
- Flour a clean surface and roll out the puff pastry to lengthwise, so it becomes longer. Cut into 6 long strips and brush with jam.
- Line up the apple slices half up the piece of pastry so that they slightly overlap each other. Fold over the pastry so that the bottom half of the apple slices are covered. Then start rolling up from one side to form a flower and place it into cupcake case.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until cooked.
- Dust with some icing sugar and serve. (please watch the video below)

Author: Ann Low
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 2个 苹果
- 1杯水 + ½粒 柠檬汁
- 1汤匙 杏脯果酱 + 1汤匙水
- 1片 冷冻派皮
- 面粉适量
- 牛油(我没用)
- 肉桂粉 (我没加)
- 6个 纸杯放入玛芬盘里
Instructions
- 先预热烤箱致摄氏200度。
- 水和柠檬汁混合均匀。苹果去核,不去皮。切出均匀的薄片,约2mm。
- 苹果片放入柠檬水里,微波大约3-4分钟。增加韧性,才容易卷成形。
- 捞起滤干水分,再用厨房纸吸干水分。
- 撒上少许面粉在冷冻派皮上,把它擀成长条状。切成6片,抹上果酱。(看视频)
- 苹果一片一片的叠在派皮上,铺苹果片的时候不能把整个派皮铺满,要留一半派皮。等苹果片铺好之后,才把剩下的派皮折上去。这样卷到底食材可以黏起来捏紧。卷好的苹果片放在纸杯里.
- 送入烤箱烤约40-45分钟或致熟。
- 出炉后待凉,苹果玫瑰花撒上适量糖粉便可。
