First up, we have a recipe for an Apple of Roses Cream Pie. This recipe starts with a flaky pie crust and is filled with a sweet, creamy filling, topped off with gorgeous sliced apples arranged in the shape of a rose. To make this dessert, you will need the following ingredients:
-1 pre-made pie crust
-4 large Granny Smith apples, cored and thinly sliced
-1/2 cup granulated sugar
-3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-1/2 cup heavy cream
-2 tablespoons unsalted butter
-1 egg, beaten
To begin, preheat your oven to 375°F. Roll out your pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie pan. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until the apples are evenly coated, then arrange the apple slices in the shape of a rose on top of the pie crust.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter over low heat until the butter has melted. Pour the mixture over the apples.
Brush the edges of the crust with the beaten egg, then bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Next, we have Mini Apple Rose Pies. These individual sized pies are perfect for a dinner party or when you just want a small dessert. Each pie is made with a flaky pastry crust and topped with a beautiful apple rose. Here’s what you’ll need:
-1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
-2 large apples, cored and thinly sliced
-1/4 cup granulated sugar
-1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
-1 egg, beaten
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F. Roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle and cut it into 6 equal squares. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon.
Arrange the apple slices overlapping each other in a line on each square of pastry. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top of the apples.
Fold the bottom half of the pastry over the apples, then roll it up like a jelly roll to form a rose shape. Brush the melted butter over the top of each rose and brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg.
Bake the mini pies in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender.
These apple rose pies are sure to impress anyone who tries them. With their gorgeous appearance and delicious flavor, they are the perfect addition to any dessert table. Give one of these recipes a try and see for yourself just how amazing they are!
