Cinnamon Roll Apple Rose Pastries
30 mins prepServes 2
Every year on Christmas I make cinnamon rolls, but they can take some time! So I resorted to an easier recipe - a spin off the classic apple roses (pinned in feed) and they are PERFECT for Christmas morning.
1. Slice the apples in half from top to bottom - remove the core ends and then scoop out the core in the center. Slice the apples into VERY thin slices. Or even better, use a mandolin.
2. Fill a medium sized bowl half full of water - squeeze the lemon juice into the water. Place the sliced apples in the water and microwave for 5 minutes until slightly tender.Drain the apples into a colander and oat dry.
3. Place pastries flat on a floured surface. Roll the pastries out with a rolling pin the flatten just a little more. Spoon butter/cinnamon mixture onto pastry and spread evenly.
4. Cut pastry into equal strips. Place apple slices along one half of the pastry slice with the peel side facing out. Fold the pastry in half to cover the apples.Starting on one end, roll the pastry and apples to the other end of the pastry. Place in greased a muffin tin.
5. Bake at 375f for 40 minutes. To keep the apples from burning place a pan of water on the bottom rack while they cook. Remove and top with cream cheese frosting. Enjoy!
