Marie Tartelettes Roses De Pommes 2 Recipe Ingredient Quantities

• 2 red apples
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons apricot jam or preserves
• 1 tablespoon water
• Ground cinnamon, to taste
• Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

How to Make this Marie Tartelettes Roses De Pommes 2 Recipe

1. Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to heat up. While the oven warms, prepare a muffin tin by greasing it or by lining each cup with a silicone muffin liner.

2. Core the red apples and slice them in half. Then, cut thin slices across each half and put them in a bowl that is safe for the microwave.

3. To prevent the apple slices from turning brown, toss them with lemon juice. Cover the apple slices with water.

4. For approximately 3 minutes, microwave the apple slices until they are slightly softened and pliable.

5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to ensure that any wrinkles are smoothed out. Cut it into 6 strips of equal width.

6. In a small bowl, combine apricot jam and 1 tablespoon of water. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, or until melted and easy to spread.

7. Evenly brush the mixture of apricot and jam onto each strip of puff pastry.

8. Line up the apple sections along one long edge of every pastry strip, overlapping them a little. The part of the apple that has skin on it should slightly go over the edge of the pastry.

9. Dust the apple slices with ground cinnamon to taste. Fold up the strip of pastry and place it over the base of the apple slices.

10. Carefully roll each strip into a rose shape, seal the edge, and place each rose in the muffin tin you prepared. Bake for about 30-40 minutes until the pastry is golden brown. Allow to cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar if you like before serving.

FAQ

• Q: Can I use a different type of fruit instead of red apples?You can try out other fruits, such as pears or peaches, but be sure they’re solid enough to maintain the rose profile.
• Q: Is it necessary to thaw the puff pastry before using it?A: Yes, the puff pastry has to be thawed so that it is workable enough to roll and form around the apple slices.
• Q: How do I prevent the apples from browning?A: To prevent the apple slices from turning brown while you prepare the pastry, it is necessary to soak them in lemon juice.
• Q: Can I make the tartelettes ahead of time?A: Yes, you can prepare the tartelettes a few hours in advance. Keep them at room temperature and warm them gently before serving.
• Q: What’s the best way to slice the apples?A: Cut the apples into thin, even slices. A mandoline slicer makes this easier and ensures that the apples, once cooked, will be of the same consistency as the other ingredients of the apple pie.
• Q: Do I have to use apricot jam?A: Apricot jam gives a nice glaze; however, it is possible to replace it with another light-colored jam or jelly, if preferred.
• Q: Is powdered sugar necessary for this recipe?A: No, it is not mandatory, but it makes for a very sweet taste and a very pretty finish.

Marie Tartelettes Roses De Pommes 2 Recipe Substitutions and Variations

To make puff pastry, use one of the following: Phyllo dough, Crescent roll dough.
To get a different flavor in red apple recipes, substitute with pears or peaches.
For lemon juice: When in a pinch, use apple cider vinegar or white vinegar.
For apricot jam: Use instead peach jam or orange marmalade.
To substitute for ground cinnamon, try combining ground nutmeg and allspice.

Pro Tips

1. For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or allspice along with the cinnamon before rolling the pastry. These spices complement the apples beautifully.

2. If the apple slices are not pliable enough after microwaving, you can briefly soak them in hot water to ensure they can be easily rolled without breaking.

3. Chill the rolled roses in the fridge for 15-20 minutes before baking. This helps the pastry maintain its shape better during baking, resulting in a neater appearance.

4. Use a sharp knife to slice the apple pieces as thinly as possible. Thinner slices provide a more delicate consistency and are easier to manipulate when rolling the pastry.

5. For a more indulgent version, add a few small pieces of butter or a sprinkle of brown sugar on top of the apples before rolling them in the pastry, enhancing the caramelization during baking.
