Drunken Rose Apple Pie

 

This dessert is a single serving apple pie shaped into a rose making it ideal for a dinner party or a Thanksgiving party. Its perfect, everyone gets there own little dessert rose and its very simple and easy to put together. You can make them ahead of time and keep then sealed in the fridge. I kept the flavors very classic, with there unique spice blend. I paired this beautiful rose with a simple caramel and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

• 2 apples 
• 1 pkg puff pastry

Slice your apples very thin and place them in a bowl with lemon juice, toss well and place in the microwave for about 30 to 60 seconds till you can bend them but not break. 

Add half of the sugar and spice mix. Set aside.

Open the puff pastry and cut into long strips. Place the apples on top of the strips like this....  

Sprinkle some more sugar cinnamon on top.

Roll each strip and place in buttered ramekins or any dish you would like to serve, You can also bake them in cupcake or muffin tins. Bake for about 30 to 40 minutes and serve along side ice cream and caramel sauce.
