Description

Caramel Apple Rose Tarts are a unique dessert sure to wow your friends and family! These beautiful little roses are made with puff pastry, tart ruby red apples, a brown sugar and cinnamon glaze, then drizzled with rich Torani Caramel Sauce after baking to golden brown perfection.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box frozen puff pastry (should be about 17.3 ounces and contain two sheets of pastry), thawed according to package directions
  • 3 red, tart baking apples
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Torani Caramel Sauce – enough to generously drizzle on each tart
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Unfold each sheet of puff pastry and lay out on a clean, dry surface. Use a sharp knife to cut each sheet into 6 strips, for a total of 12 strips of puff pastry. Set aside.
  3. Cut each apple into quarters and remove the core with a paring knife. Use a sharp knife to slice the apple quarters into very thin slices.
  4. Lay the slices of apples onto the top third of each strip of puff pastry, with the red apple peels facing out. Overlap the apples as you go. Also, be sure that half of the apple is on the puff pastry and the top half is off of the pastry.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. The mixture will be thick and paste like. Use a pastry brush to apply a thin layer of the mixture to the puff pastry below the apple slices.
  6. Fold the bottom half of the puff pastry up over the brown sugar paste and the bottom half of the apple slices.
  7. Roll the pastry into a coil, like a cinnamon roll. Place into a greased muffin tin cup.
  8. Repeat steps 4-7 with each strip of puff pastry.
  9. Bake at 400 for 22-25 minutes until the pastry is golden brown.
  10. Remove the tarts from the oven and place on a cooling rack to cool for 10 minutes.
  11. Generously drizzle each Caramel Apple Rose Tart with Torani Caramel Sauce.
  12. If desired, use a sifter to sprinkle powdered sugar over the tarts.

Serve warm. Makes 12 servings
