Quick pink cake
Warning: you can easily make this dessert only if you have a shredder that can cut apples into slices no thicker than two millimeters.
For dessert, you need a package of puff pastry, bought at the store and one apple.
1st step
Carefully place the dough sheet in a mold greased with cooking oil, if it is metal (silicone oil is not necessary).
2nd step
Cut the apple in half, remove the core. Chop it in the thinnest slices.
Tip
Sweet apples are best suited for this recipe (peeled, they do not darken as quickly as sour ones). It is good if the fruit is with a bright skin: red, yellow or green, because the flowers will turn out more expressive.
3rd step
Gather roses from the middle of the flower to the edges. Fold the central apple slice and add petal by petal in a circle to it until you get a magnificent bud.
4th step
Fill the whole form with flowers. And so that they do not crumble, strengthen the gaps between small floral outlets, just one or two petals.
5th step
Bake the dessert in the oven until golden brown.
Puff pastry roses with apples
For this recipe, it’s not so important how thin the apple slices will be. They obediently curl into a bud because they will undergo heat treatment. But first things first…
1st step
Slice the apples and blanch in boiling syrup or apple juice for no more than 10 seconds.
2nd step
During this time, the apples will soften and become so flexible that they can easily be rolled up without breaking.
3rd step
Take out the slices with a slotted spoon and let the excess liquid drain.
4th step
The main characters of this dish are still apples and puff pastry. By the way, the latter can be done at home. But it will take a lot of time, and besides, there is no way to do without a certain skill. There are no guarantees that the output will produce the desired result. Leave this "headache" of domestic or foreign industry. Moreover, they successfully cope with this task and produce good quality puff pastry.
Roll out the dough sheet and cut it into strips no wider than two to three centimeters wide.
5th step
On each strip of dough, lay out apple slices with an overlap.
6th step
Roll the ribbon with apples on the principle of "snail".
Step 7
Thoroughly, without regret, moisten a baking paper sheet with water. Place it on a baking sheet. Important: do not lubricate with oil! Arrange the flowers on a leaf.
Step 8
Put in an oven preheated to 180-200 degrees.
Depending on the temperature in the oven and the amount of baking, it will be baked from 15 to 40 minutes.
Sentence
You can make roses from puff pastry with apples, pears, plums, nectarines or peaches.
The technology for making pear roses will be the same as with apples. It is better not to blanch nectarines, plums and peaches, because they are already quite flexible. Just keep in mind that it’s more difficult to make flowers out of them, since when twisting they strive to slip out of the dough ribbon. But there is no need to refuse such options. A little knack - and everything will turn out! A variety of tastes are worth the effort!
Apple Variations
You can place apples in puff pastry in a different way. At the same time, roses will turn out.
Option 1
With this method, the slices are obtained by slicing the fruit with a peeler.
Next, with apple slices, you should do the same as in the previously described recipes. When folding petal by petal in a circle you get a wonderful white rose bud.
Option 2
Peel the fruit from the peel with a peeler. Try to keep the apple ribbon as long as possible. Well, if only two strips come out of one whole apple. Of these, you need to twist the flower. It will be very simple to do this, because the cut skin tends to curl itself with a snail.

Do not forget to sprinkle with powdered sugar immediately after you take them out of the oven.
