Apple Rose Pastries
Apple Rose Pastries are fun and easy to make, and though they look tough to make, they are actually quite easy and straightforward - the real trick is getting the apple slices thin enough to be flexible - the rest is simple.

Ingredients
Ingredients: (makes 6 roses)
2 apples
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
5 tablespoons strawberry jam
Powdered sugar
Slice the Apples
Core the apples, and slice in half. Then cut into very thin slices, and toss in lemon juice.
Microwave
Microwave for 1 minute until softened, or until you are able to bend them without them breaking.
Puff Pastry
Roll the each puff pastry onto a flour surface until each sheet measures roughly 9 by 12 inches, which should then be cut into six 2-inch strips, so 2 x 9 inches each.
The Creation Of
In a small bowl, combine strawberry jam with a tablespoon of water, and microwave a bit to warm it up.
Spread this jam mixture over each strip of puff pastry.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees, and grease a regular muffin tin.
Place around 10 apple slices horizontally across the puff pastry strips, overlapping a little bit with each other, while situating them so that the skin side of the slices are facing upwards, and protruding a bit from the pastry. Sprinkle over with cinnamon.
Fold up the bottom line of the puff pastry so that it cover a bit of the lower parts of the apples. Roll it up lengthwise and place in a muffin tin, open side facing up. Repeat with the rest of the pastry strips.
Roll It
Roll it up lengthwise and place in a muffin tin, open side facing up. Repeat with the rest of the pastry strips.
Bake It
Bake in preheated oven for around 40 minutes, until the pastries are nice and golden brown on the top.
Enjoy!
