Ingredients
  

For the pastry
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash) This gives a golden finish.
  • Flour for dusting flour To prevent sticking while rolling.
For the filling
  • 2 pieces apples (preferably red-skinned) Cored and thinly sliced.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice To prevent browning of apple slices.
  • 1 tablespoon sugar For sweetening the apples.
  • Cinnamon to taste cinnamon Add generous amounts for flavor.
  • Powdered sugar for dusting powdered sugar For serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Core the apples and slice them thinly, about 10-12 slices per apple, then soak in lemon juice.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface until thin, then cut into 2-inch wide strips.
  3. In a bowl, mix the apple slices with sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Lay a strip of pastry on your work surface. On one edge, place overlapping slices of apples. Fold the pastry over the apples to create a pocket and roll gently.
  2. Place each rolled rose in a muffin tin. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with more cinnamon.
  3. Bake for 30-35 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  4. Let cool slightly, dust with powdered sugar, and serve warm.

Notes

For a variation, use other fruits like pears or peaches. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
