Apples and Pears
APPLE ROSES
NF
Makes: 6
These pretty sweet treats make the most of store-bought puff pastry, and are a quick and easy tea time showstopper.
• 250g dairy-free puff pastry, at room temperature
• Plain flour, a little for dusting
• 55g (¼ cup) non-dairy butter, melted
• 2 tbsp soft brown sugar
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 large, crisp apples (we used Pink Lady)
1 Preheat your oven to 180°C (Gas Mark 4, 350°F). Brush a muffin tin with melted non-dairy butter.
2 On a floured surface, roll out the pastry to about 4mm thick. Brush the pastry with the melted butter and sprinkle over most of the cinnamon and sugar.
3 Quarter and core the apples and slice them into thin half moon shapes.
4 Cut the pastry into 6 long strips 4cm wide and lay one out in front of you on the worktop. Begin placing the apple slices along the top of the pastry, overlapping them as you go, until the whole length is covered.
