Ingredients
- 3 Medium Red skinned eating apples
- 1/2 Lemon
- 2 tsbp brown sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp Freshly grated Nutmeg
- 3 tbsp Apricot Jam
- 2 tbsp Hot Water
- 1 sheet All Butter Puff Pastry
Apple Roses
- 3 large Egg Yolks
- 3 tbsp Cream Sherry
- 3 tbsp Caster Sugar
Sabayon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C
- Core the apples and cut in half. Then, if possible using a mandoline, slice them very thinly to create 'half moon' shapes, about 1/8th inch thick or less
- Put the apple slices in a large microwave safe bowl, squeeze over the lemon juice and cover with water
- Microwave for 5 minutes till the slices are soft
- Drain and dry gently with kitchen paper
- Mix together all the spices and the sugar and toss the apple slices in the mixture
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into 6 equal strips
- Coat each slice of pastry with the apricot jam mixed with hot water
- Lay the apple slices along one edge of each strip, overlapping slightly and with the cut end of the apple about a third of the way down the pastry
- Fold each slice of pastry in half along the long edge, so that the apple slices are neatly tucked in and press down gently.
- Roll up each slice to make a 'rose' . At this stage you can pop them into a pre-greased muffin tin and cover with film and refrigerate if you are making them in advance
- When you are ready to bake, pop in the oven for 40-45 minutes. The edges of the 'roses' should caramelise but if the pastry starts to burn, cover with foil while the roses continue to cook.
- Whisk together the egg yolks, sugar and sherry till slightly frothy
- Place the bowl over a pan of just simmering water, making sure the water doesn't touch the bowl
- Wisk for around 4-8 minutes till the mixture becomes very light and frothy - about 3 times the original volume. You should be able to make a trail of the mixture with a metal spoon.
- Serve the roses in a pool of warm sabayon dusted with a little icing sugar
