Rose apple cinnamon puff

Beautiful rose apple cinnamon puff which I came across on FB, thus gave it a shot to bake it.
Turned out enticingly extremely attractive bouquet of edible roses!! Ideal for tea parties!! Your guests will be so impressed!! Moreover it is so easy to bake you will feel like a master chef after this! 
In this recipe, I used cinnamon powder however you may use chocolate powder, cocoa powder for other alternatives.
You may also replace apricot preserves with Nutella spread for sweeter tooth!
You may need:
-ready-made puff pastry sheet
-2 red apples or red n green apples 
-apricot preserves 
-cinnamon powder 
-half lemon 
-butter
-Icing sugar



Fill half a bowl of water, juice half lemon into the water.
Slice apples as thin as possible as shown 
Soak slices of apple in the lemon water for at least an hour ( soften apple slices
to create a better fold for petals)
Drain n towel dry soaked slices n set aside 
Heat up two tbsp of apricot preserve in a small pot. Do not add water. Set aside once warm n sticky.
Roll out pastry sheet thinly n cut n trim into long rectangular shape 
Spread warmed apricot preserve on pastry sheet ( in case you r using Nutella, pls do not heat or warm)
Arrange apple slices as shown
Sprinkle some cinnamon powder generously
Fold up n close the sheet as shown



Roll from one end till you get a rose
Close the end fold by pressing n sealing the dough together 
Use a muffin or Cupcakes baking tray n bake it at 250 for 10mins
Monitor carefully for the last 5 mins n add on if necessary
Bring out n cool those lovely roses before icing them



I like to serve them w vanilla ice-cream on the side n a cup of tea.
