Sorry to run on like this, but when I cook and get something edible, that's a stupendous thing! Thank you, Chef John! Yeah, well, anyway, these crunched, and they were so good! And I didn't even have to squint to see they were rose shaped. I'll use more dough to glue them next time. I made three: two fell apart and one stayed together. I have a small oven and I think it cooks hot, so in the future, I'm turning down the temps. I didn't have any of those little dish thingys, so I put them on foil on a cookie sheet and baked away. That came out OK, and the only thing I had a problem with was burning the apple roses a little in the oven. I had to use pie dough I bought at the store because I don't have a rolling pin yet and I've learned the hard way that using a soup can just doesn't do the same job. ![]() These turned out really good! I had a few mishaps: I quartered the apple instead of halving it (I knew I'd screw something up so, that's why I got two apples) I layered the apples the wrong way (back to the video), when I corrected that, I couldn't figure out why I had so much dough so I put on another layer of apples (back to the video), took them all off and folded the dough rolled them up, knew I forgot something (back to the video - yes, I have a recipe box and recipe cards, no, I didn't take notes, yes, I'm lazy), added more sugar and cinnamon and rolled them back up again threw them in the oven and burnt my finger. ![]() Let me know if you make them and what you think.Scarfing down the last of these as I type this. ![]() Tasty cold, but at their prime when warm, flakey, buttery and oozing a little jam straight out of the oven.

Take a close and careful look at the close ups as it wasn’t as easy as she made it look until implementing her tips.Īpples laid on the pastry, not in the middle, but about 1/3 over. This is the tricky part: how you overlap the apples. We didn’t measure the amount of jam, but a scant tablespoon per tart is what we used and for 11 tarts we used about a 1/2 of a cup. Homemade apricot jam was the intent, but I’d just run out.Ī good generous run of it all along each pastry strip adds a great deal of flavour to the tart.

We had our first ever annual Thermomix Regional Retreat the last weekend of July and I had asked her to share how to make Apple Roses with all of us in attendance. She has muscles! She had it rolled out quite thin in no time. Nadja used the recipe from the front of the Thermomix Basic Cookbook for Quick Puff Pastry, but added and chilled it overnight. Nadja is a master at conquering such recipes and then teaching me how “easy they are”! Lucky us! Now, I can show you!

That gal makes the prettiest looking food. I say “again’, as it was her Russian Dumplings that motivated me to beg her to teach me how to make them from her Facebook page. I saw a photo of these on Nadja’s Facebook page, again. Not only do these Apple Roses look divine, but they are a lovely delicate treat and not too sweet.
