These gorgeous cinnamon apple roses are as delicious as they are beautiful. The thinly sliced apples soften and caramelize in the oven, creating the perfect contrast to the flaky, golden pastry. Brush with Cinnamon Better Butter for that irresistible sweetness and spice. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent touch!
Directions
- Prepare the apples – Preheat the oven to 375°F. Use a mandolin to slice the apples very thinly. Place the sliced apples in a microwave-safe bowl with lemon juice, tossing to combine. Microwave for 5 minutes until the apples are soft enough to bend without breaking.
- Roll out the pastry – On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry. Cut it into six equal strips.
- Assemble the roses – Lay 4-5 apple slices along each strip of puff pastry. Roll the strip up into a rose shape, then place the rolled pastry into a heavily greased muffin tin. Brush with melted Cinnamon Better Butter.
- Bake – Repeat with the remaining pastry strips and apples. Bake at 375°F for 40-45 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crisp. You may need to cover with foil towards the end of baking to prevent the apples from burning.
- Cool and serve – Allow the roses to cool for about 10 minutes, then gently use a knife to release them from the muffin tin. Serve immediately, with ice cream if desired!
These Cinnamon Apple Holiday Roses are a stunning dessert that will wow your guests with their beauty and flavor. A little warm, a little crispy, and a lot of delicious – perfect for any festive gathering or cozy dessert night!
