Baked Apple Roses - Apples Delicious

1 large apple, cored and sliced  

¼ cup sugar       

1 teaspoon cinnamon

¼ cup melted butter                      

1 egg                    

2 teaspoons water

1 frozen puff pastry, thawed, or crescent roll dough

Confectioner’s sugar optional

Preheat oven to 400 F.  Dust ramekins, or muffin tins, with sugar. Slice the apple very thin and microwave 45 seconds, until tender.  Cover with paper towel. Mix cinnamon and sugar.  Mix egg and water together in a separate container.

If using crescent roll dough, separate each triangle and pinch long ends together.  Then cut into long strips.  If using frozen puff pastry, thaw completely, and cut into long strips.

Arrange slices of apple, curved side over the edge by 1/4 inch, flat side not quite flush with the other side; overlap slightly.  Fold the pastry over the slices’ flat edge.  Brush the egg wash over the pastry fold, sprinkle lightly with cinnamon sugar.  Roll up, and place into ramekins.  Optional to sprinkle more sugar on the ‘petals’ formed after rolling.

Bake 45 minutes, cool 5-10 minutes.
