These were inspired by a cook named Ana, a Brazilian food blogger living in Italy. I really hope you give these gorgeous looking, and very delicious apple roses a try soon. Enjoy!
π Recipe adapted from AllRecipes
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Butter 2 small ramekins (6 to 8 ounce) and dust with white sugar.
Place apple slices on a plate, overlapping slightly if necessary.
Microwave on High about 45 seconds just until slices have softened a bit.
Cover plate with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel.
Mix together sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
Roll puff pastry sheet to less than 1/8-inch thickness.
Using a pizza cutter, cut two 3-inch by 12-inch rectangles.
Reserve remaining pieces for another use.
Spread melted butter over dough; top with a generous amount of cinnamon-sugar.
Place apple slices along 1 long edge of dough, about 1/4 inch beyond edge of dough, overlapping slices slightly.
Fold bottom half of dough over the apple slices to form a long "folder" of dough with rounded edges of apple slices exposed.
Beat egg and water together in a bowl.
Paint surface of dough with egg wash.
Sprinkle with more cinnamon-sugar, to taste.
Starting from one end, roll dough not too tightly to form a rose-shaped pastry.
Seal roll with end of dough strip.
Transfer roses to prepared ramekins.
Sprinkle with a little more cinnamon-sugar.
Place ramekins directly on middle rack of preheated oven.
Bake until well browned, about 45 minutes.
Remove ramekins with tongs and place on baking sheet to cool 5 to 10 minutes.
Remove apple roses from ramekins and finish cooling on rack.
Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.
