Co Mai's Apple Roses

Prep time: 45 minutes
Cook time: 45 minutes

YOU WILL NEED:

• 2 small bowls
• Rolling Pin
• Knife
• Oven

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 lemon
• Nutmeg
• Cinnamon
• 2 apples
• Phyllo dough / puff pastry (flaky, not frozen)
• Fruit preserve (we used apricot)

STEPS:

1. Half and core apples. Slice thinly and add to cold water and lemon bath. This prevents the apples from browning. These are the "rose petals".
2. Mix three tablespoons apricot preserve and 2 tbsp water in a small bowl. Add a pinch of nutmeg and cinnamon.
   
3. Flour a hard  work surface to roll the phyllo dough out on. Cut into thirds and layer the apple slices over each other along one end. Fold other end back over to seal it and roll it up. Add to muffin tins or ramekins with parchment paper.
4. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place tins in oven and bake for 45 minutes.
