When most people think about Valentine’s Day they think about lots of sweet treats, candy, and beautiful flowers and roses! If you want all that Valentine-y greatness packed into one exquisite recipe, this is the post for you!
I present to you the Apple Rose Tart!
They’re little roses, they’re scrumptiously sweet, and I just so happen to LOVE them! It’s got everything you could possibly want this time of year. (And every other time of the year, but let’s stay topical here).
This complex-looking Valentine’s Day game-changer is actually pretty simple to make — as if you needed another reason to fall in love with them! Plus the fresh apples makes you feel like your holiday treat is a litttttle bit healthier 😉
Check out the recipe and the simple steps below to start making your own little bouquets of deliciousness 🙂
- 1 frozen puff pastry sheet, thawed
- 2 red delicious apples
- Lemon juice from half of a lemon
- 1 tbs of flour, to sprinkle the counter
- 3 tbs apricot preserve
- 1 tbs cinnamon
- 3 tbs powder sugar for decorating
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and grease a muffin tin with a non-stick spray.
- Follow the puff pastry directions and thaw as directed. 1 sheet makes 6 rose tarts.
- Cut two apples in half and remove the core. Slice the apples as thin as possible. They should look like little thin arches or rainbows.
- Using a small microwaveable bowl, add the lemon juice and fill halfway with water. Place the apples in the bowl and microwave for 3 minutes. Remove from the microwave and drain the water.
- Sprinkle a clean counter with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheet with a rolling pin. It should be pretty thin and about 12 square inches. Cut it lengthwise into 6 strips.
- In a separate bowl, add 2 tbs of water and the apricot preserves. Microwave for 1 minute.Stir until it has a thin consistency.
- Spread the mixture on each puff pastry strip. Line the apples over the top edge, overlapping them at the middle. Sprinkle the whole strip with cinnamon and fold the pastry in half so the bottoms of the apples are covered. Starting from one end, roll the pastry from one side to the other. Seal the pastry to itself and place it in a greased muffin tin.
- Repeat for the remaining 5 pastries.
- Place in the oven for 30 minutes or until the edges of the apples start to brown. Allow to cool for 5 minutes and then drizzle with honey and sprinkle powdered sugar on top.
