Apple roses: fantastic and delicious!

If you’re looking for a simple, impressive tea cake (or dessert) for special occasions or holidays, these apple roses are for you. They can be served with afternoon tea, as a sweet appetizer, or as a complete dessert (don’t forget a scoop of ice cream on the side!).

With a few basic ingredients like puff pastry, apples, apricot jam, cinnamon, and powdered sugar, these apple roses are not only easy to make, but they’re sure to make a real impression on guests.

Tips
Instead of apricot jam, you can also use other fruit jams or caramel (e.g. dulce de leche).

If you want, you can leave out the puff pastry and use croissants instead.

Make smaller roses by cutting thinner strips of dough and using a mini muffin tin. You may need to cut the apple into smaller pieces before cooking.

If the roses brown too quickly, place a loose piece of foil over them to prevent further browning.

If you don’t have a muffin tin, you can also use small cupcake tins or molds.

How to store apple roses
Leftovers can be stored at room temperature (in an airtight container) for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes before serving.

Can I do it early?
After baking, the apple roses are best eaten immediately. If you want to make them in advance, you can assemble and roll the roses and store the unbaked rolls in the refrigerator. Bake before serving.

What to serve with apple roses
Serve the apple roses plain or add a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream for a complete dessert.
