Apple Roses Recipe

Ingredients                                

One Roll of  frozen puff pastry  - Just Rol is Vegan

- Defrosted of course 

Apples- I used 5 small Pink Ladies

2tsp Cinnamon 

5 tsp Brown Sugar 

2 tbsp Lemon Juice and lemon zest

4 cups water

2 tbsp sugar 

The How-To Bit 

1. Core the Apples but do not peel them, quarter them and then slice them into thin slices.

2. Place them into a pot with the lemon juice, lemon zest, water and 2 tbsp of sugar and cook until soft but not mushy. Drain and dry on a paper towel.

3. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees c.

4. Roll out your pastry onto greaseproof paper cut into slices about an inch thick and cover in a mix of cinnamon and brown sugar. 

 5.Then place the slices along the strips of pastry have them slightly overlapping and with the skin running along the top as in the picture above - then roll up the strip until it resembles a rose 

6.Place on a baking sheet and brush with egg wash or milk wash - place in the oven for 25 minutes or until pastry is golden.

You can add icing sugar to decorate and then serve with Plant cream or Alpro custard. 

If you fancy something a little different but equally pretty  - try peach slices - no need to cook them as they are already soft but slice them thin.  And you could try agave or peach conserve on the pastry instead of sugar and cinnamon.
