Apples roses with a twist!
For those of you that “do” Facebook, have you ever come across a post that appears on your page that says something like this… “She sliced and apple and you wouldn’t believe what happened next”? Well I did and I must say, I was NOT going to open in. What if this person wasn’t just slicing apples, but was going to plant an apple virus on my pc!! Bear with me please….
So, I didn’t open that post the first time but I saw it again a few times on FB and when a friend shared the post I decided to have a look at it. What could possibly be so spectacular with someone slicing an apple?!?!?
Nothing could prepare me for the awesomeness that I saw….apple roses!! So, after watching the lady slice the apples (as promised by the title) and make something I wouldn’t believe (also promised by the title) I decided to take these simple Apple Roses and put my Greek/Cypriot twist on it.
I make and sell Greek finger food and one of my products is called Milopites which is filled with apple, nuts and some secret ingredients. So I decided to use my Milopites recipe in the roses. So my new creation would be called Milopites Roses!
The first time I made them I didn’t pay much attention to what amounts I used but was focusing on the technique and taste rather than the recipe. I think that making them by feeling the first time was just the right thing to do!
Important tips:
- Don’t put too much wet ingredients on your puff pastry as it will make the pastry soggy and difficult to roll
- Don’t put too many ingredients in as you don’t want to roll it up too big
- Make sure your apple slices are evenly cut
- Red apples give you the “rose” look, but I am pretty sure you can do green flowers as well
- NB!! Testing more than one of your products will ALWAYS help with knowing what to improve on next time 😉
BE CREATIVE!!!
Go look up Apple roses and fill with your own combination of ingredients!!!
