French Apple Roses Mini Tarts
Sometimes I love to get creative in the kitchen and these French Apple Roses Mini Tarts are a perfect way for me to exercise my creative muscle! These tarts are so pretty – made with rolled up thin slices of apple. The best way to get thin slices of apple is to use a mandoline. You can cut the apples by hand if you don’t have a mandoline slicer, but the slices won’t be as uniformly thin.
Start by making a pastry base for the mini tarts. Slice apples into very thin strips and toss in lemon juice to stop them browning. Sprinkle apples with cinnamon sugar and allow them to rest at room temperature. Roll the apples up tightly – try not to stop once you have started rolling. Gently transfer the rolled apples into the pastry cups. Repeat until all of the pastry cups are filled. Bake in the oven. Before serving, dust with powdered icing sugar.
To make French Apple Roses Mini Tarts, you will need the following ingredients:

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured work surface. Cut hearts out of the rolled dough using a heart-shaped cookie cutter.
