Browsing the net I was inspired by a similar recipe and added my own twist. Its a perfectly light dessert that I used as part of our last course to end special Mothers day dinner.

Steps

1 hour

1

Place water into a bowl with lemon juice.
2

Cut apples in half, core and slice thinly across.
3

Place sliced apples into bowl of water (water should cover apples) then microwave for about 2 - 3 minutes to soften them slightly.
4

Strain apples discarding liquid.
5

In the mean time, roll out puff pastry to make thinner. Use flour to prevent from sticking.
6

Cut puff pastry into 6 equal sized strips.
7

Spread raspberry / strawberry preserve over pastry strips.
8

On top half of pastry strip, place row of apples horizontally overlapping slightly with apple skins facing towards the outer (top)side of pastry.
9

Dust apples with cinnamon powder.
10

Now fold bottom half of pastry over so that it half covers your apples. It should look like a row of apples on top with pastry along the bottom.
11

Lift pastry from one end and roll towards other end to form a rose.
12

Place rose - pastry side down into a non-stick / muffin tray. This helps keep the shape. Ps. I spray tray with non-stick cook and bake spray.
13

Bake in a moderate oven until pastry cooks through - roughly 40 - 45 minutes.
14

When done, remove from tray and dust with icing / powdered sugar and serve.

I served alongside a combination of chocolate mouse and fresh cream with a dusting of chocolate.
