Ingredients:

• 1 large apple
• Lime juice & water for soaking the apples, see directions
• 3 tablespoons of Strawberry jam (I used a sugar free jam)
• 1 tablespoon of water
• Cinnamon & Sugar Mixture for sprinkling
• 1 Puff Pastry sheet
• Garnish with powdered sugar 

Directions:

1. Cut the apple, in half, core & then slice the halves into thin pieces. (I used a fuji apple) You may use any apple,  your choice.
2. Place the Apples in a bowl, cover with water & squeeze some lime or lemon juice into the water. Microwave for 3 minutes to soften apples. Drain the apples, and start assembly of roses.
3. Lay out the puff pastry and cut into 4 or 5 equal pieces , see photo below
4. In a small bowl, place the strawberry jam inside and mix in 1 tablespoon of water
5. Spread the thinned jam on each strip of puff pastry
6. Next, layer the softened apples across the edge of (one side) the puff pastry
7. Sprinkle with the Cinnamon Sugar mixture across the top
8. Fold the other half of the puff pastry over the top of the apples (see photos)
9. Then roll the pastry into a roll, with the apples on the top half (see photo)
10. Place the pastry rose in a prepared muffin pan, repeat process until all roses are made
11. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes, remove, cool slightly and remove the baked roses to parchment paper or place on serving plates & serve

Notes: Serve with a scoop of ice cream or serve as a hand pie.
