Poached Apple Roses Recipes

THE EASIEST APPLE DESSERT ROSES RECIPE (PERFECT EVERY TIME)

Steps:

• We'll start by preparing the apples first. Into a medium bowl, add water and squeeze half of a large lemon. Wash the apples and cut them in half. Remove the core and slice then thinly using a knife or a mandolin.
• Next, place these thin slices of apple in water mixed with lemon juice so that your apples don't brown while preparing them.
• Next, microwave the apples for 5 minutes and set them aside. Alternatively, you can put them in a pot and heat them on low until the water almost boils. Drain the water right before you're ready to use the apples.
• Now dust a large cutting board with flour. Place one puff pastry sheet and coat the entire sheet with flour.
• Using a rolling pin, roll out the sheet to double the size of about 12x18 inches.
• Now cut this sheet into 6 pieces that are 3x12 inches. Next, spread a teaspoon of apricot preserves onto one of the pieces.
• Place drained apple slices on one side of the pastry and fold the pastry in half.
• Now pinch both ends of the pastry and start rolling it into a roll. Pinch the end to the rose to secure it.
• Now place the dessert rose in a greased pan. I prefer using parchment paper to line my sheet using it makes it easier to remove the roses from the pan after they are done baking. This is because after the roses bake, they lead a little and get stuck to the pan.
• Next, repeat the same steps for the second puff pastry sheet.
• Once all puff pastry sheet has been rolled into dessert roses, bake the roses for 45 min at 375F on the lowest oven rack.
• Once done, let them cool for 5 minutes on the pan and then remove them with a spatula. After they cool completely, dust some confections' sugar for decoration. Optionally, you can also sprinkle some cinnamon powder onto it.
• Your beautiful dessert roses are ready to be served! Serve with your favorite desserts and have them with a delicious cup of latte.

POACHED APPLE ROSES

Steps:

• Bring the water, lemon juice, and sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan. Remove syrup from heat; cover. Cut a round of parchment the same diameter as the saucepan.
• Core apples. Peel golden apples; using 1 lemon half, rub flesh. Squeeze juice from remaining half into hollows of (unpeeled) red apples. Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, cut all apples crosswise into paper-thin (less than 1/8 inch) slices. Transfer to syrup; shake pan to coat slices. Place parchment directly onto surface of apple mixture. Let syrup cool completely, about 40 minutes.
• Remove slices from syrup. Cut slices into semicircles. Stack 1 red apple slice on top of 1 golden slice, with cut edges nearest you. Wrap slices together into a cone shape to form a "bud." Stack 2 more slices. Placing them slightly above base (to create a staggered appearance), wrap them around bud. Repeat, wrapping until rose is about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Reserve leftover peeled slices for garnish.

BAKED APPLE ROSES

Steps:

• Preheat Oven to 375 degrees.
• - Put apple slices in microwave safe bowl. Fill bowl with water and juice from half a lemon. Use enough water to make sure apple slices are covered by water. Microwave for 3 minutes. This will soften the apple slices and make them more pliable for rolling up.
• - Next grab a sheet of puff pastry. Flour your board and roll out the puff pastry enough to make 6 strips at 3 inches wide. I scored and cut mine with a pizza wheel put you can use a knife.
• - In a bowl mix your favorite fruit preserves with a couple tablespoons of water. Then spoon out the preserves in the center of the strip of puff pastry.
• - Next place the apple slices long ways halfway on the strip. Keep adding slices until you reach the end. Then fold the puff pastry over the bottom of the apple slices.
• - Roll up the puff pastry and place in a greased muffin tin.
• - Bake the apple roses for 35-45 minutes.
• - Pull out of oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
• This would be such a beautiful dessert for any occasion, but I am definitely bookmarking it for Thanksgiving. I know my family will be so impressed by these (and it doesn't hurt that they'll think I spent a ton of time on them!).

CINNAMON POACHED APPLES

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring the sugar, water and red-hots to a boil. Cook and stir until red-hots are dissolved, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat; carefully add apples. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or just until apples are tender, turning once., With a slotted spoon, remove apples to a large bowl. Bring syrup to a boil; cook, uncovered, until reduced to about 1-1/2 cups. Cool. Pour syrup over apples; cover and refrigerate until serving.

BAKED APPLE ROSES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter 2 small ramekins (6 to 8 ounce) and dust with white sugar.
• Place apple slices on a plate, overlapping slightly if necessary. Microwave on High about 45 seconds just until slices have softened a bit. Cover plate with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel.
• Mix together sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
• Roll puff pastry sheet to less than 1/8-inch thickness. Using a pizza cutter, cut two 3-inch by 12-inch rectangles. Reserve remaining pieces for another use.
• Spread melted butter over dough; top with a generous amount of cinnamon-sugar. Place apple slices along 1 long edge of dough, about 1/4 inch beyond edge of dough, overlapping slices slightly. Fold bottom half of dough over the apple slices to form a long "folder" of dough with rounded edges of apple slices exposed.
• Beat egg and water together in a bowl. Paint surface of dough with egg wash. Sprinkle with more cinnamon-sugar, to taste.
• Starting from one end, roll dough not too tightly to form a rose-shaped pastry. Seal roll with end of dough strip.
• Transfer roses to prepared ramekins. Sprinkle with a little more cinnamon-sugar. Place ramekins directly on middle rack of preheated oven.
• Bake until well browned, about 45 minutes. Remove ramekins with tongs and place on baking sheet to cool 5 to 10 minutes. Remove apple roses from ramekins and finish cooling on rack. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

EASIEST APPLE ROSES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter 10 cups in a standard 12-cup muffin tin. Set aside.
• In a medium pot, combine 8 cups water and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over high-heat and reduce to a brisk simmer.
• Cut the apples in half. Remove core and cut apples crosswise into paper-thin slices. Transfer slices to simmering acidulated water. Cook until slices bend easily, about 3-4 minutes. They be soft enough to bend but not break when rolled. Drain and transfer to a plate or small baking sheet.
• Combine apricot preserves and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl. If apricot preserves is very firm, transfer to microwave and heat gently, stirring at 15-second intervals, until mixture is well-combined and smooth. Set aside to cool.
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll pastry to 16" x 10", with the long side parallel to the bottom edge of the work surface. Using a pizza cutter, cut dough in half vertically, and then horizontally, at 2-inch intervals. You should have ten 2" x 8" strips.
• Brush one strip with apricot mixture. Arrange apple slices, round side up, on top portion of dough strip, slightly overlapping one another. Each slice should look like an upside-down U, with its rounded, skin-on edge sticking out over the top edge of the dough. Fold the bottom half of the dough up to meet the top half, and press lightly to seal.
• Starting from one end, carefully roll dough, keeping the apple slices in place. Seal the edge at the end with apricot mixture, and place into prepared muffin tin. Repeat with remaining strips. Sprinkle granulated sugar on top of each rose, about ¾ teaspoon each.
• Transfer muffin tin to oven and bake until golden and pastry is cooked through, about 50 minutes. Carefully remove roses and let cool on a rack before serving.
