Do you remember our article on  Valentine's Day where we advised you not to buy roses because they are not a seasonal flower? Well, with our recipe for rose-shaped apple tarts, you can still offer a pretty rose to taste!

Ingredients for the recipe:

• 1 red apple
• 1 rectangular puff pastry
• 1/2 lemon
• 2 tablespoons strawberry jam

Steps :

• Cut the apple into slices. Make good thin slices (help yourself with a mandolin if you prefer).
• Immerse the strips in water and add the juice of 1/2 a lemon (to prevent the apple from oxidizing).
• Put 2 minutes in the microwave (if the apple pieces are not soft enough, put back a little in the microwave). 
• Cut the puff pastry in the direction of the width to have 6 strips of dough of identical size.
• In a ramekin, put the strawberry jam with a little water so that the jam is more liquid.
• Spread a little jam over the entire length of the puff pastry.
• Put the apple slices on top of the dough, making them stick out a little.
• Fold the puff pastry over the apple pieces.
• Roll the dough all the way to turn it into a pretty rose.
• Place the rose in a muffin tin.
• Do the same with all the pieces of puff pastry.
• Put in the oven for about 35 minutes at 190°C.
• To be enjoyed warm. 

You can replace the strawberry jam with a little compote or a pastry cream. Let your imagination run wild!
