Delicious Dessert Will Leave Your Guests Begging For More

Here is what you need :

1 Pkg puff pastry which has been thawed in the refrigerator, 8 small tart apples, 1 fresh lemon, 8 TBS sugar, 2 TBS cinnamon, 1 egg for egg wash, extra sugar and preheat your oven to 400 degrees

Put a pot with water on heat and let it boil, meanwhile cut the apples into thin slices and add them to the pot with the lemon juice then turn the heat off , put a lid on the pot and let the apples steam for a minute. We want the apples to be soft but not mushy. so as soon as you feel they’re soft. drain the water from the pot and put the apples on a paper towel to cool off and dry

Now take a sheet of puff pastry and place it on a well-floured surface, Brush the pastry with the egg wash, sprinkle it with 4 TBS of sugar and 1 TBS of cinamon, now cut a 1 inch strip along the long side of the puff pastry and place the apple slices that they will slightly overlap each other and start rolling the pastry

You should be able to place 9 -11 slices on each stripe

Put the finished rolled pastry or rosettes in a mold or just on a baking paper

Before placing in the oven, sprinkle with more sugar and put the mold or baking paper with the rosettes in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

Now place a pan with water in the bottom rack of the oven. this will help to keep the bottom of the rosettes from burning, bake the rosettes on the rack just over the water for 15 – 20 minutes but make sure to check them regularly. you don’t want them to burn, but you want the party to be crispy. when they are done let them cool off outside the oven and serve!
