Cook’s Note:
We tried making these with gluten free puff pastry, but the dough was difficult to shape and roll. It was a real challenge to use the gluten free puff pastry dough. Regular puff pastry dough would be preferred, making the shaping and rolling procedure easier.
- Remove the Rose Cups from the pan while still warm as the syrupy juices can adhere to the pan.
- When working with puff pastry, rechill if it becomes too sticky.
- Select very red apples for the beautiful rose flower appearance.
- Other recipes have brushed the inside with thin strained apricot jam for more flavor.
- Three things to know: Watch the temperature of the puff pastry’ cut the apple thinly; cook apples only until able to bend them.
- Use the leftover apple slices and some of the lemon sugar cooking liquid to make some delicious applesauce.
Why are Apples a Global Fruit? Apple trees are cultivated worldwide and are the most widely grown species in the genus Malus. The tree originated in Central Asia, where its wild ancestor, Malus sieversii, is still found today. Apples have been grown for thousands of years in Asia and Europe and were brought to North America by European colonists
