Apple "Roses" Puff Pastries

Tender beautiful pastries in the shape of a rosebud.

Ingredients:
250 g of puff pastry (thawed in advance)
2 apples (preferably red)
3 tablespoons of sugar
powdered sugar for dusting

A very popular recipe for apple pastries. They have an unusual shape, and in taste - tender baked slices of apples and crispy dough. Wrapping and preparing them is much easier than it seems at first glance. The pastries themselves are almost not sweet; if you want a sweeter version, you need to sprinkle them well with powdered sugar. It makes about 12 pieces.

Preparation:

Cut the apples into quarters, removing the inedible parts.
Slice them thinly into 2 mm thick slices.

In a saucepan, pour 200 ml of water, bring to a boil.
Add sugar.

Put the apple slices into the boiling water.

Boil for no more than 2-3 minutes, then drain the water (the apples should become flexible).

Roll out the thawed dough thinly (1-2 mm thick).
Cut into strips 3 cm wide and 25-30 cm long.

On a strip of dough, place 5 slices of apple, slightly overlapping.
The slices should extend one third over the top edge of the dough.

Carefully roll the strip into a tube.

Fold the lower edges of the dough inward.

Arrange the prepared rose-shaped pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place in a preheated oven at 200 degrees. Bake for about 30 minutes.

Allow the finished pastries to cool completely.
Sift powdered sugar over the pastries using a sieve.

Enjoy your meal!
