Instructions
Creating Puff Pastry Apple Roses Tarts can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Apples: Core and slice the apples thinly. In a bowl, toss the apple slices with lemon juice, cinnamon, and sugar. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to soften.
3. Roll Out Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out each sheet of puff pastry to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut each sheet into strips approximately 2 inches wide and 12 inches long.
4. Arrange Apple Slices: Overlap apple slices along one edge of the puff pastry strips, making sure the tops of the apple slices stick out slightly.
5. Fold Pastry: Fold the bottom half of the pastry strip up to cover the bottom of the apple slices, creating a rose shape.
6. Roll the Pastry: Starting from one end, carefully roll the pastry strip to form a rose. Pinch the bottom to secure it.
7. Place in Muffin Tin: Place the rose-shaped tarts into a greased muffin tin, ensuring they stand upright.
8. Brush with Butter: Brush the tops of the tarts with melted butter for a golden finish.
9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender.
10. Glaze: In the last few minutes of baking, warm the apricot preserves in a small saucepan. Brush over the baked tarts for a glossy finish.
11. Cool: Remove the tarts from the oven and let them cool for about 10-15 minutes before removing them from the tin.
These steps will guide you in creating these incredible tarts effortlessly, allowing you to enjoy the delicious results.
