Have you seen these? They're all over pinterest. Well, I have some friends coming over for dinner this weekend, and I was wondering what to serve for dessert, and took a look at the instructions for these. I thought they might be kind of "fussy", but they're really not. I think mine could be prettier, but this was a practice batch, so next time, I'll lay the apple slices a little higher on the strip of puff pastry, so they stick up and look more rosey. Instead of the white sugar called for in the recipe, I used brown because, well, I like the flavor better, and I added a few chopped walnuts. If I do say so myself, they are delish! And kind of fancy looking don't you think? Hope my friends like them. If you google "puff pastry apple rosettes", there are a million recipes. Some use a wider piece of pastry and fold it over, I followed the directions for the ones that use a narrower piece, and just roll. I think with the folded over pastry, it might be too think at the center, and get kind of gummy. I cooked them at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. I used a cookie sheet covered with a silicone baking liner. I'm glad I did, because with the juice of the apples, the sugary juices leaked a bit at the bottom, and caramelized, and I think without the silicone liner, it would have been tough to remove them without damaging them. I think a couple of these on a plate, with a little scoop of vanilla bean ice cream will make my friends happy. And it was easy peasy!
Those look so yummy!
