Apple Rose Tartlets

• 份量: 5 servings
• 准备时间: 35 minutes
• 总时间: 3 hours 10 minutes

配料

1 puff pastry sheet (see notes)

2 medium apples

1 Tablespoon lemon juice

2 Tablespoons brown sugar

1 Tablespoon cinnamon

optional powdered sugar for decorating

步骤

thaw puff pastry

Allow the puff pastry to thaw according to package directions. This will take at least two hours.

cut apples

Wash the apples and dry them well. Use a sharp knife and cut them into thin slices. You will be avoiding the seeds and leaving the peel on. You can also cut them with a mandoline if that is easy for you. But the apple roses will look better if the apples are cut into "wedge" shapes. See the blog post for the details. Toss the apple slices with lemon juice to keep them from browning.

cook apples

Heat a saucepan over medium heat. Add the apple slices, lemon juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Toss/stir gently and heat for about fifteen minutes until the apples have just softened. Remove the pan from the heat so that the apples can cool enough to handle.

preheat oven

Preheat the oven to 375° while the apples are cooling. They should be cool enough to handle once the oven is heated.

cut dough

Unroll the puff pastry and cut into five strips. The strips will be about 2 inches in width.

make tartlets

Working with one strip at a time, lay the apples along the entire edge of the top half of the strip with the skin side facing out of the pastry strip. (See blog post for example.) Fold the bottom half over the apples so that only the top part with the skins is poking out. Carefully roll into a "rose".

prepare for baking

Spritz some muffin cups with cooking spray or use cupcake liners. Place each apple pastry rose in a muffin cup.

bake

Bake in a 375-degree oven for about 35-45 minutes until the apple pastries have browned. If the apple rose is undercooked then it will taste doughy. the 35-45 minutes is suggested because ovens vary so much. Start checking at 35 minutes. Take one out and slightly pull it to check for doneness. Mine get done in about 40 minutes.

decorate

Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Sprinkle (optional) powdered sugar on to decorate.
