The kids wanted to make a simple apple pie today and so they did their version and I did mine.

Saw this ‘rose’ technique some time back on @tastemade that used cream cheese as the filling.

Recipe for 4 tarts (adapted from tastemade.com)

• 1 small red apple
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 3 tbsp water
• 4 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tsp cinnamon

• Icing sugar for dusting

1. Preheat oven to 200C.
2. Core apple and halve it.
3. Slice each half thinly with a mandolin or knife.
4. Place apple in a bowl. Add lemon juice and water and toss.
5. Microwave at 600W for 2-3 mins or 1000W for 60 secs.
6. Set aside to cool and pat dry if needed.
7. Mix butter and sugar together to form a spread.
8. Cut pastry sheets into 4 strips.
9. Spread the butter and sugar mixture on each pastry strip.
10. Lay the apple slices along the length of half of each pastry strip. Overlapping each slice with the next slice.
11. Dust some cinnamon powder over each strip.
12. Fold the pastry strip lengthwise over the apple slices.
13. Roll it up and place in a greased muffin tray.
14. Bake for 20-25 mins.
