Apple Roses [Vegan]
Soft and Delicate Vegan Apple Roses
- A selection of four juicy red apples, preferably featuring the sweet and tangy Pink Lady variety.
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, divided
- Four tablespoons of unsalted vegan butter, thoroughly melted.
- Two sheets of vegan puff pastry, previously frozen and now fully thawed.
- Six tablespoons of softened, high-quality vegan butter, brought to a comfortable room temperature for optimal use.
- Powdered sugar for dusting, if desired.
Crisp autumn days are upon us, and the aroma of freshly baked apple roses wafts through the air, enticing everyone with their sweet, delicate charm.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a standard muffin tin by greasing it thoroughly, then set it aside for use in your baking endeavors.
- Slice the apples in half lengthwise, then carefully remove the cores to create perfectly prepared fruit for your desired recipe. Thinly slice the apples using either a sharp knife or a mandoline, cutting them into uniform 1/8-inch thick pieces. Carefully arrange the slices within a spacious microwave-safe mixing bowl, followed by the addition of lemon juice, ensuring a gentle tossing action that preserves the integrity of each slice. This helps to prevent browning. Combine the brown sugar and melted butter, then toss with the apples to ensure a uniform coating. Cook the sliced ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl on high for approximately 45 seconds, or until they reach a warm temperature that allows for easy bending.
- Gently dust a clean working area with a thin layer of flour, and proceed to roll out a single sheet of puff pastry into a rectangular shape measuring approximately 9 inches by 12 inches in dimension. Cut the dough into six equal rectangular portions, approximately 9 inches long and 2 inches wide, using a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Repeating this process with the remaining puff pastry sheet yields a total of 12 equally sized strips of dough, ready for your desired filling and baking application. Position a single strip on the work surface, ensuring its top edge is precisely aligned with a measured 1/2 tablespoon of unsalted butter, expertly diced into minute fragments. Delicately sprinkle one teaspoon of rich brown sugar in an even layer across the dough strip.
- Carefully place apple slices atop the butter, staggering each layer to ensure uniform coverage, requiring approximately ten slices per section. The rounded edges of the apple slices, positioned away from the dough, should align in a petal-like arrangement, resembling the delicate pattern of flowers unfolding.
- Carefully drape the lower portion of the dough over the base of the apple filling, ensuring a snug fit by pressing gently with your fingertips. Beginning at one extremity, carefully curl the strip into a delicate rose-like formation. Arrange the rose petals within the cups of a muffin tin to create a delicate display, and subsequently replicate this process with the leftover strips.
- Preheat your oven to the desired temperature and bake the pastry for a duration of 40-45 minutes, or until it reaches a golden brown hue along its edges, signifying that the centres have been thoroughly cooked. Allow the dish to rest for two minutes before gently removing the roses from the pan and transferring them to a serving platter.
- Savor warm, lightly dusted with powdered sugar if preferred, and relish the delight!
