Air Fryer Apple Roses are a delicious treat any time of the year! If you have apples needing to be used up, then this recipe is just what you are looking for!
Take all of your apples and slice them in half. Core out the middle to remove the seeds. Slice them as thin as possible and place in a large microwavable bowl.
Add to your bowl your lemon juice and fill enough water to cover your apple slices so that they float.
Place in the microwave for three minutes or until the slices are soft and pliable. While your apple slices are in the microwave, prepare your working station by lightly flouring a flat surface. This can be a clean kitchen counter, or large cutting board.
Layout one pastry sheet and roll it with a rolling pin just a couple of times. Enough to evenly flatten your sheets. Cut your pastry sheet into six slices.
Remove your apples from the microwave and drain the water from the bowl using a colander.Taking one of the six slices of your pastry sheet, place an apple slice horizontally with the round part (skin) just outside the edge of the pastry sheet. Take your next apple slice and continue the same thing but overlap your apple slice slightly. Continue until all of your pastry sheet is lined with apple slices. Sprinkle with 1/2 tablespoon of cinnamon powder.
Take the bottom part of your pastry sheet and fold up to line itself with the pastry sheet underneath. In a sense you are folding the pastry sheet in half over the apple slices.
Roll your pastry sheet and apple slices, and slightly pinch the ends.
Place in your silicone cupcake liners and put in your air fryer.Repeat steps 7-10 until you have made all 12 roses, or until you can fit as many in your air fryer. My air fryer is a 6 quart and fits 4 to 6 comfortably. You can choose to make all of the roses at once and then cook a few, or make a few roses, cook those and continue to prepare more.
Cook at 375°F for 7 minutes or until the dough is fully baked.
Remove from the air fryer and serve warm. Lightly dust with powdered sugar. For an extra dose of sweetness, drizzle with honey, or agave!
