Have you ever made apple roses?
With Ontario apple season here, we’ve been reminiscing about this favourite recipe.
Made with thinly sliced apples, a touch of cinnamon and your favourite fruit preserve, all tucked and rolled into flaky puff pastry, they’re as pretty as they are delicious.
A perfect early fall treat for a lingering Sunday morning brunch, an afternoon cup of tea or a cozy night in.
Cathryn’s Apple Roses

2 to 3 apples

Place apple slices in bowl, add lemon juice and stir.
Microwave for 2 to 3 minutes to soften apple slices, then drain.
Thaw puff pastry according to directions, and roll out slightly with floured rolling pin.
Cut each pastry sheet into 4 strips.
