Method

Step 1 of 6

Preheat oven to 190°C. Grease a 12-hole medium muffin tin.

Step 2 of 6

Add lemon juice and 4 cups boiling water to a large heatproof bowl. Halve apples and remove cores using a melon baller or teaspoon. Slice apples crossways and place into the bowl of lemon water. Stand for 10 minutes to soften. Drain off water through a sieve. Leave apples to drain well and cool.

Step 3 of 6

Meanwhile, beat butter and sugar together in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Add egg and beat until combined. Stir in ground nuts and cinnamon.

Step 4 of 6

Cut each pastry sheet into three equal strips. Spread 1 tbs nut mixture over each pastry strip. Lay apple slices along the cut edge of the pastry so that the rounded sides are half over the edge. Fold the pastry up over the apple to meet the other edge.

Step 5 of 6

Roll up from the short side to form a rose shape. Place into a muffin hole. Repeat with remaining pastry, nut mixture and apple. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden and pastry is cooked through.
