  • 2 tbsps

Directions

Equipment Needed 
oven Oven
skillet Skillet
cookie cutter Cookie Cutter
muffin pan Muffin Pan
pastry brush Pastry Brush
saucepan Saucepan
1

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

2

Melt butter in large skillet set over medium heat. Add apples and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes or until just starting to soften (slices should be soft and malleable in order to shape into a rose). Let cool completely.

3

Place puff pastry on lightly floured work surface. Cut into 8 rounds using 3 1/2-inch (9 cm) round cookie cutter. Fit each round into a standard muffin cup. Freeze for 10 minutes.

Tip

Substitute puff pastry with refrigerator pie pastry if preferred.

4

Arrange apple slices upright in pastry shells in concentric circles, starting from the outside of the shell and working toward the centre, with skin-side up and overlapping slightly (the overall effect should resemble the petals of a rose).

5

Stir together HERSHEY’S caramel syrup and cinnamon in small bowl. Brush over apple slices.

6

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until pastry is golden brown and apples are tender.

7

Heat cream in small saucepan set over medium heat until just starting to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in HERSHEY’S CHIPITS Cream Cheese Flavoured Chips. Let stand for 1 minute. Stir until chips are smooth and melted. Pour mixture evenly over apple roses.

8

Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with edible flower petals.
