Enchanting Apple Rose Tart

I fell in love with this enchanting apple rose tart recipe. It is so lovely that I couldn’t wait much until trying it.

This apple tart recipe has many advantages: other than having a few ingredients, it is pretty easy to prepare, can be a cute idea for a dessert or even ate as a snack.

I saw it in a video in Facebook from Cooking with Manuela. I am adding the video down here (right before the recipe) because I couldn’t explain better than her the easy process of preparing these lovely apple rose tartlets.

I would add that the apples have to be sliced as thin as possible, and I needed a longer time in the microwave. The trick is: microwave them (for me at least 7 minutes, it will depend also on the apples and how thin they are sliced) until the slices are soft enough to be rolled up with the puff pastry.

I ate them as they are, but I believe they may match perfectly with a scoop of ice cream.
