Apple Rose Mini Tarts

 

 

I love finding beautiful recipes that are both easy to make, and use ingredients you most likely already have at home. These little beauties are one of those recipes that you can easily throw together after dinner one week night to have with that late night coffee (it's not just me right?). Or if you have guests coming over, simply plate the roses with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on the side, drizzle with caramel, and you have yourself a fancy dessert.

 

 

 

 

Did I mention they are delicious?

 

 

 

 

My soon-to-be 4 year old loved these, and I'm sure you will too! Be sure to check out this tutorial to see how easy they are to make. Happy baking!

 

 



 

Apple Rose Mini Tarts
from Cooking With May Lynn 

1 red apple
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon honey
3 tablespoons water
1/2 cup butter
1 cup flour
Cinnamon
Powdered sugar for dusting


Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (175C).
2. Slice an apple in half and remove the core.
3. Make thin slices and put them in a pot. Add sugar, honey and water and cook for about 5 minutes.
4. Move the apples to a bowl and let them cool.
5. Take the butter and add 3 tablespoons of the apple water and the flour. Mix well and form into a ball. Divide dough in half, and roll it into a rectangle on your counter.
6. Slice strips horizontally, about 1 inch wide.
7. Put 5-6 slices of apple, overlapping, on top of the strips. Sprinkle some cinnamon and roll them up so it looks like roses.
8. Put the roses in cupcake molds and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
