1. Prepare the Apple:
Wash and dry the apple. Cut it in half and remove the core. Slice each half into thin slices.
2. Prepare the Dough:
Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into 5 or 6 even strips.
3. Add the Filling:
Sprinkle a line of sugar down the center of each strip. Then sprinkle with cinnamon and almond flakes.
4. Arrange the Apples:
Lay the apple slices along the center of each strip, overlapping slightly. Make sure the skin side of the apple slices faces up.
5. Form the Roses:
Fold the bottom edge of the dough strip upward to partially cover the apple slices. Gently roll each strip with the apples into a spiral to form a rose shape.
6. Bake the Roses:
Place each rose into a muffin tin to help it hold its shape during baking. Sprinkle with additional sugar and almond flakes, if desired.
7. Bake:
Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
8. Finish and Serve:
Let the apple roses cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
