Apple Rose Tarts


Aren't these edible flower arrangement gorgeous?  Served them as dessert and I am sure your guests would be wowed by these pretty tarts. They are actually quite easy to make.  I must thank Lorraine of 'Not Quite Nigella' who recently shared this amazing recipe (The Most Magical Apple Flower Tarts). Hop over to her blog to watch her step-by-step video tutorial on making these pretty roses using apple slices.

[Makes 6 tarts]

Ingredients:
1 red apple
1 green apple
a large bowl of water with lemon juice (from 1/2 a lemon)
1 tbsp jam mixed with 1 tbsp water
3 tsp almond meal
1 sheet of ready-made puff pastry
a little plain flour to roll the pastry
icing sugar for dusting
6 cupcake cases

  • Place cupcake cases into muffin pan.  Preheat oven to 180 deg C.
  • Cut the apples in half and core them using a melon scoop.  Leave the apple skin on.
  • Using a mandolin, slice the apples.  Then cut them in half.
  • Place the apple slices into the bowl of lemon water.
  • Then microwave the apples until they are pliable (about 4 minutes). Drain the apples and rinse with cold water to cool them.  Dry the apple slices with paper towel.
  • Flour a clean surface and roll out the puff pastry lengthwise so that it becomes longer.  Cut into 6 long strips.  Brush with jam and sprinkle some almond meal over the jam.
  • Line the apple slices on half of the pastry strip so that they slightly overlap each other.  Fold over the pastry to cover the bottom half of the apple slices.
  • Then start rolling up from one end to the other to form a flower.  
  • Place each tart into a cupcake case.  Bake for about 45 minutes until the pastry in the centre is cooked.
  • Dust icing sugar over the tarts and serve with ice cream.
