Rose Apple Tarts

My friend's mom is an innovative and adventurous cook. She keeps posting her delicacies on Facebook and this was one of her recent posts. They looked so divine, I had to try it. They are super easy and super quick to make. I bet you can impress anyone with these!


For this you will need -

1 Cup - All Purpose Flour
1 - Red Apple
2 Tbspn - Sugar
1 Tbspn - Honey
3 Tbspn - Water
1/2 Stick (approx. 50g) - Butter

Method -

Cut apple in half and remove core. Then slice each half into thin slices. Put these in a vessel and add the honey and water. Now cook these slices for about 3-4 minutes till just soft. Don't overcook as then they won't retain their shape at the next stage.

In a mixing bowl, add the butter, flour and sugar. Mix with a tablespoon of the apple water to form a soft dough. Refrigerate this for 15minutes.

Then, take it out and roll out to about 1 inch thickness. Once rolled, cut out strips of about 2 inches width. Take one strip, place it horizontally in front of you and then place about 4 -5 apple slices, overlapping, along its length. Try not to get any liquid. Now gently roll this to automatically form the shape of rose. Place gently in a muffin wrapper.


 
 
Continue doing the same for the rest of the slices. Bake these at 350 deg F for about 15 - 18 minutes. Once baked, glaze with honey and dust icing sugar.
