Enchanted Rose Tart

Print Recipe

A visually stunning and delicious tart inspired by the enchanted rose from ‘Beauty and the Beast’, made with delicate apple slices shaped into roses atop a creamy almond filling and buttery tart crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 2–3 red apples (such as Gala or Honeycrisp)
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup apricot jam
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/3 cup almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (for almond filling)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a tart pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. Slice apples in half, core them, then cut into very thin slices (about 1/16 inch thick). Place in a bowl with lemon juice and microwave for 1-2 minutes to soften.
  3. In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over the apple slices and set aside.
  4. In another bowl, mix almond flour, all-purpose flour, softened butter, sugar, egg, and almond extract to make the almond filling.
  5. Roll out puff pastry and cut into strips (about 2 inches wide and 8 inches long).
  6. Spread a thin layer of almond filling onto each strip. Line apple slices along one edge of the strip, overlapping slightly, with the red skin side sticking out above the edge.
  7. Fold the other edge of the pastry strip over the apples and carefully roll the strip to form a rose shape.
  8. Place each rolled tart into the tart pan or muffin tin cavity.
  9. In a small saucepan, heat apricot jam with water to make a glaze. Brush over the apple roses.
  10. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until pastry is golden and apples are tender.
  11. Cool slightly before serving. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline slicer for evenly thin apple slices.
  • Different apple varieties can give varied colors to the roses.
  • Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
