Last week I was scrolling though and saw one of those short 30 second videos on how
to make these rose apple desserts and although I don’t normally make things I find
recipes to online (because chances are they don’t work out) I decided to give
this a try.I will honestly say that this dessert was so quick, easy,
and delicious. I made a few changes to the recipe, but the idea
is still the same. The recipe comes from a food blogger Manuela,
and I was happy to discover her youtube channel. I linked her YouTube video below.
Ingredients:
2 puff pastry sheets – thawed
3-4 medium sized red apples
½ cup apricot jam
½ cup ricotta cheese
cinnamon sugar – for sprinkling
Extra flour for sprinkling down the work surface
Confectioners powder sugar – garnish
Equipment:
Rolling pin
2 Cupcake tins
Nonstick baking spray
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Cut apples in half, core, and slice thinly into half moon like-shapes
3. Place apple slices into a bowl, fill with water and microwave 4-6 minutes (until slices are soft and flexible).
4. Remove from microwave, drain, and set aside.
5. In a small bowl combine ricotta cheese with jam and a dash of cinnamon, mix until well combined.
6. Using a rolling pin, roll out the puff pastry dough until thin and rectangular shape.
Spread half of the apricot mixture over the dough, and reserve the other half for the second sheet.
7. Cut the rolled out puff dough into six strips and using the apple strips lay them round side up with the apple slices hanging out ½-1 inch off the dough, place them over the first strip, overlapping each apple slice.
Then fold over the remaining puff dough from the first strip over the apple slices and press firmly. Then roll the entire strip with the apples into one big roll (like a fruit roll-up) and place into a sprayed cupcake tin.
8. Continue the same process for the rest of the strips, and the second puff pastry dough.
9. Once completed all 12 rolls, place in the oven for 50-60 minutes at 350F. I found that baking them at 375 was too high because the outside would get golden quickly and the inside dough would still be raw.
10. Garnish with powder sugar sprinkled.
