Step 2: Create the Lemon Water

First let's preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C). Place the rack in the
middle position. Next in a large bowl pour your water and squeeze
the juice out of one lemon into the water.

Step 3: Slice Slice Soak

Next let's core and slice our two apples really thin, no more then
1/8th of an inch, if they are too thick they won't roll up very well. You
can use a knife or a Mandolin slicer. After you are done slicing the
apples place them in the lemon water. The lemon water will help
keep them from browning.

Step 4: Microwave and Drain

Next let's put the bowl of apples in the microwave and heat it on
high for about 3 minutes. If you don't have a microwave, you can
pour it into a pot and heat it up on the stove, just until you see little
bubbles. Next drain out all of the liquid. Heating them up helps
them to be more flexible so they will roll easier. :)

Step 5: Sugar and Spice

Now combine your sugars, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl. Use a

small whisk or a fork to mix them together.

Step 6: Coat the Apple

Next pour about half of the sugar mixture over the apples and using
your clean hands mix the apples until they are coated with the
sugar and spices.

Step 7: Roll and Cut

Next on a floured surface roll out your puff pastry dough or pie crust
dough. We should be able to get 6 long rectangle strips from it. If
using a circular pie crust try and roll it into more of a rectangle. If

not, don't worry about it too much. Then brush off any extra flour
that may be on the tops of the strips of dough.

Step 8: Baste and Dust

Now let's heat up a small bowl of apple jelly (or whatever kind of
jelly or jam you want to use.) Only takes about 25 to 30 seconds in
the microwave. Then baste it on top of a strip of dough. Next come
in and dust the top with some sugar mixture. I was using a fork
because I was too lazy to get a spoon. But the fork helps to control
the amount of sugar that goes on, haha.

Step 9: Place, Fold, Roll

Now is the fun part! Place the apple slides on the upper half of the
strip of dough, so about half of the apple slice is hanging off the
edge. I usually can get 5 slices down first, then I take about three
more very thin slices and over lap in the middle. Next fold over the
strip of dough, forming a little pocked of sorts. Pinch each end shut,
then roll it up fairly tightly. If the apples slices start to slip out just
push them back in, not to worry.

Step 10: Bake, Remove, Cool

Now place those unbaked apple roses in a kitchen sprayed or

greased and floured muffin pan. Place the apple roses in the oven
and bake at 375 F (190 C) for about 40 minutes. Check it after 30
minutes, if the they are getting too brown, place some aluminum foil
over the tops. When done they should be a nice golden brown.
Now while still warm we need to remove them, if you leave them in
the pan for too long while cooling they have a tendency to stick and

are harder to get out. Run a butter knife around the edges, then
with a spoon pop them out. Place them on a cookie rack to cool.

Step 11: Powdered Sugar Snow Storm!!!

Now dust the tops of those awesome apple roses with a snow
storm of powdered sugar! haha. Just kidding, a light dusting of
powdered sugar (confectioner's) is perfect. But you can do what
you want ;). They are ready to eat! They also taste really good with
some caramel sauce drizzled over them...mmmm. Enjoy! :)
