Ingredients

• 2 large apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• Flour for dusting
• Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
• Butter for greasing the muffin tin

Instructions

1. Prep the Apples: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the apples in half, remove the core, and slice them thinly. Toss the slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
2. Prepare the Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into strips about 2 inches wide.
3. Assemble the Roses: Lay apple slices along the edge of the puff pastry strip, overlapping them slightly. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over the apple slices. Fold the bottom of the pastry strip up to cover the bottom of the apple slices.
4. Roll the Pastry: Starting from one end, carefully roll the pastry strip to form a rose shape. Repeat with the remaining strips and apple slices.
5. Bake the Roses: Grease a muffin tin with butter and place the apple roses in the cups. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender.
6. Serve: Allow the apple roses to cool slightly before removing them from the muffin tin. Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm.
