1
Preheat oven to 375F and lightly grease a standard muffin tin.
-
2
Rinse apples thoroughly, then cut them vertically and remove core. Place halves cut side down and slice them very thinly.
-
3
Place apple slices in a bowl of water and microwave for 3 minutes, or until softened.
-
4
On a lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry and use a knife or rotary cutter to cut pastry into 3 - 5 long, narrow stips.
-
5
Take one strip and spread 1/2 - 1 tablespoon caramel sauce down the middle of it.
-
6
Laying them partially on top of one another, spread apples out at the top of pastry, so that the tops of slices are hanging off the edge of dough.
-
7
Sprinkle apple slices generously with brown sugar and cinnamon, then gently fold the bottom half of puff pastry up over the apple slices to create a little folder for them.
-
8
Take the short edge of the dough and slowly roll it over itself until the apples are all wrapped into a spiraled rose.
-
9
Place apple rose in muffin tin, then repeat with remaining apples and puff pastry.
-
10
Place muffin tin in oven and bake for 35 - 40 minutes, or until puff pastry is golden and cooked all the way through.
-
11
Remove apple roses from oven and garnish with powdered sugar before serving.
