A plate of food on a table

These are the most adorable holiday desserts! My friend Merrill, from Merrill Paige Styling, introduced me to these cute little guys and I have become obsessed! I personally love to place them on top of a store-bought pie; it saves you time and still adds a really memorable personal touch to your dessert. However, don’t think I’m going to stop making these after the holidays – they’ll be served in a bowl with ice cream all year!

 

INGREDIENTS

4 red apples

Juice of 1 lemon

4 tbsp apricot preserves

1 box of puff pastry

Cinnamon

Apple Pie Spice

1 cup flour

PREPARATION

1. Preheat oven to 375˚

2. Slice the apples in half and core them.

3. Lay each side face down and thinly slice each half vertically into 2 mm slices.

4. Place apple slices in a microwaveable bowl and cover apples with water. Add the juice of one lemon. Microwave for 2 minutes to soften the apples (they need to be able to bend!)

 

5. Flour your counter and smooth out the puff pastry sheets.

6. With a pizza cutter, divide the pastry dough into 6-10 even sections (about 2 inches wide).

7. Add 4 tbsp of apricot preserves into a small bowl with a dash of water. Microwave for 30 seconds.

8. Brush the apricot mix onto the pastry dough.

9. Take a strip of dough and place a line of softened apples horizontally along one side (overlap them slightly) with the ends touching the middle of the dough strip.

10. Sprinkle cinnamon & apple pie spice over the apples and fold up the bottom half of each strip creating a pocket for the apples.

11. Roll the dough carefully into a rose.

 

12. Place roses in a muffin pan.

13. Bake in preheated oven for 40-45 min.

14. Place on top of the pie of your choice, or eat by themselves!
