Thin slices of red apple soften in hot water and are rolled up with a strip of puff pastry into a rose whose petals are formed by the red peel. Baked in a muffin tin, they look much more complicated than they are.
💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
3
Halve the apples, remove the core and cut into thin 2 mm slices, without peeling.

Thin the apricot jam with a tablespoon of the water and spread a thin layer on each strip.
8
Arrange the slices along the top half of each strip, overlapping, with the skin sticking out a little above the edge of the dough. Sprinkle a little of the filling on top.
9
Fold the bottom half of the dough up over the white part of the slices and roll from end to end into a rose. Press the end to seal.

Transfer each rose to a cup of the pan.

💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.

If the edges of the apples brown too fast, cover with foil after 25 minutes.
