Rose Apple Pie
Description
Rose Apple Pie combines thin slices of red apple partially softened by a short microwave heating to maintain flexibility without becoming mushy. These slices are then layered over rolled-out puff pastry that has been brushed with melted butter and sprinkled with a cinnamon and cane sugar blend. The pastry, cut into strips, wraps around the apple slices creating a rose-like rolled effect. Egg wash is applied on top to encourage browning and shine, with additional cinnamon sugar sprinkled before baking in a greased ramekin or muffin pan.
The final pie features a golden, flaky crust with softly cooked apple slices that hold their shape and carry the aroma of cinnamon and vanilla. Serving the pie warm with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce adds creamy and sweet contrast that complements the spiced apples. The recipe is adaptable, allowing for different pie crusts or fruits and simple substitutions for butter and egg wash.
This dessert is suitable as a sweet treat or after-dinner dish and stores well for several days refrigerated. It can be prepared ahead, with apple slices coated in lemon juice to prevent browning. Baking in a muffin pan at a slightly reduced temperature is an alternative method for shaping and timing.
Ingredients
- 1 apple red, large
- 2 pieces puff pastry rectangular or pie crust
- 2 tablespoon butter melted
- 3 tablespoons cane sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 egg large
- vanilla ice cream for serving
- caramel sauce for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and grease two ramekins
- Cut the apples in half, remove the core, but keep the red peel. Slice them as thin as possible and place on a plate. Microwave for about 45 seconds until they slightly soften and become limp but not mushy. Cover the apples with a plastic wrap and towel while prepping the pastry to ensure they remain soft.
- Roll out the puff pastry and cut into 2 strips, each 1/8-inch thick, about 3” wide by 12 to 14” long. There will be extra pastry left
- Spread melted butter over the surface. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl, and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the pastry dough.
- Place the apple slices along the edge, starting about 1 inch in from the end, overlapping slightly, with the round part up, partly sticking out of the dough
- Fold the bottom half of the dough over the apples. Mix the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash, then brush the egg wash on top. Sprinkle more cinnamon sugar on top.
- Fold the puff pastry "closing" the apples as you roll.
- Place inside the greased ramekin, and repeat for the other strips
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the pastry is well browned.
- Allow to cool and serve with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce, if desired.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
- Butter and egg wash can be substituted with coconut oil or omitted as desired.
- Coat apple slices with lemon juice if preparing in advance to prevent browning.
- Microwaving apples softens them quickly, but they can also be softened gently on low heat if preferred.
- Use a muffin pan at 375°F for about 45 minutes as an alternative baking method to ramekins.
- The recipe adapts well to different fruits and pie crust types.
