Apple Roses

• Preparation time:
• Cooking time: 45 mins
• Serves: 

Ingredients:

Red apples
Lemon juice
Puff pasty
Apricot jam
Honey
Water

Method:

1. Core and halve apples - do no peel them!
   
2. Slice the apple very thinly and place in a pot of water with a dash of lemon in it to prevent discolouration.
   
3. Blanch the apples just a little so the slices are bendy.
   
4. Take a long rectangle of puff pastry and spread some apricot jam in the middle of it - Try watering the jam down a little to make it easier to spread.
   
5. Place the apple slices along one side, peel out, and then fold the puff pastry over.
   
6. Slowly and carefully roll the pastry up into a rose.
   
7. Place it in a muffin tray for baking.
   
8. Bake at 180 - 190 degrees for 45 minutes or until the pastry is cooked through.
