The best rose ever eaten.. Making these beautiful apple
rosettes have been on my list for long... I was bit apprehensive if I would be
able to make it or no.. It looked simple but then it needs a bit of patience to
make these rosettes.. My first 2 rosettes were not so perfect, but then with
hands on experience it turned out beautiful..
For me 1 big apple was enough to make around 5 rosettes
Ingredients:
1 big apple cored and cut in thin horizontal strips
1tsp lemon juice
1 puff pastry thawed
4-5tbsp apricot preserve or any other preserve or crush
available to you
Method: Put the apple strips in a bowl of water and lemon
juice and microwave for 2mins.. Remove from the water and spread it on a towel
to dry out the water..This would make the apples soft and pliable.. Mix around
1tbsp of water in the preserve and mix it.. It should be thin enough to
spread.. Take the puff pastry and spread it out to thin sheet.. You need to do
this so that the centre of the rose bakes well.. Cut it in 1 1/2 inch strips.. Take
a strip and apply the preserve in between.. Then start layering the apple
strips on it.. half apple strip should be on the pastry sheet and half
outside.. Fold it in half and roll it.. Rolling it is the trickiest part.. If
the apples are very moist it starts slipping out of the pastry sheet while
rolling.. So it is important to dry it out on a towel before using... While
rolling, with the help of one finger keep the apples intact and roll it
tightly.. Place it in silicon mould and bake in a preheated oven at 170c for
35-40mins till the puff pastry is light brown in color.. Dust with powdered
sugar and serve it by itself or with icecream..
Note - if you dont have any preserve or spread you can even substitute it for butter and sprinkle cinammon powder on it..
