Ingredients

• 2 pieces Red apples
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Apricot jam
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin.

Step 2

Wash the apples thoroughly and slice them in half. Core the apples and cut them into very thin slices, about 1/8-inch thick.

Step 3

Fill a mixing bowl with water and add the lemon juice to prevent the apples from browning. Place the apple slices in the lemon water.

Step 4

Microwave the water and apple slices together for about 3-4 minutes to soften the apples, making them easier to roll. Drain and pat the slices dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 5

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet into a rectangle about 10 x 12 inches. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the sheet into 6 vertical strips.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together.

Step 7

Melt the unsalted butter and lightly brush it over each puff pastry strip. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the strips.

Step 8

In a separate small bowl, mix the apricot jam with the water and microwave the mixture for 20-30 seconds until slightly thinned. Spread a thin layer of the jam mixture over each puff pastry strip.

Step 9

Lay the softened apple slices along one long edge of each pastry strip, overlapping slightly with the peel side sticking out beyond the edge of the pastry.

Step 10

Fold the other edge of the pastry strip over the bottom of the apple slices. Gently roll each assembled strip from one end to the other to form a rose shape.

Step 11

Place each rolled rosebud into a prepared muffin tin well.

Step 12

Bake the rosebuds for 35-40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and fully cooked. Check halfway through baking and cover with aluminum foil if the apple edges begin to brown too quickly.

Step 13

Remove the rosebuds from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before gently removing them from the muffin tin.

Step 14

Dust with powdered sugar for garnish if desired and serve either warm or at room temperature.
