Ingredients
- 2 red apples, thinly sliced 🍎
- 1 tbsp lemon juice 🍋
- 2 tbsp water 💧
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed 🥐
- 3 tbsp apricot jam (or any fruit preserve) 🍑
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 🌰
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional) 🍬
Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Thinly slice the apples and place them in a microwave-safe bowl with lemon juice and water. Microwave for 2 minutes until the slices are pliable. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Prep the Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into 6 equal strips.
- Add the Jam: Mix the apricot jam with 1 tsp water to thin it slightly. Spread a thin layer of the jam mixture over each pastry strip.
- Arrange the Apples: Lay apple slices along the top edge of each pastry strip, overlapping slightly, with the peel side facing out.
- Form the Roses: Fold the bottom half of each pastry strip up over the apple slices. Carefully roll each strip into a rose shape.
- Bake: Place each rose in a muffin tin and sprinkle lightly with ground cinnamon. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35–40 minutes, until the pastry is golden and crisp.
- Finish and Serve: Let the tarts cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
