Keep reading because in this post we are going to teach you how to make a dessert when you see the step-by-step, you will be able to make it without any problem and you will have a beautiful baked apple dessert in the shape of a rose. This is a dessert for a special occasion, which can be served as a dessert after a special dinner accompanied by rosé wine. Or you can serve these baked apple roses it in the afternoon with a good cup of coffee.

You will need puff pastry which you can get in pastry shops or in the supermarket, Washington Fuji apples, cinnamon, icing sugar, and apricot or peach preserves. Of the latter, only a little is needed to spread on the strips of puff pastry that we are going to prepare as the base of the apple roses.

An important step is to use a microwave or water that is slightly hotter than lukewarm so that the apple slices become soft and easy to handle and do not break. To get thin slices we recommend using a mandolin. Be very careful! You can also use a sharp knife if your cutting skills are good.

You will see how easy it is to assemble them and how beautiful they will be!
