Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Spray the cupcake tray with oil. I haven't always used it but find it can be helpful to remove the pomme roses when done.

In a medium pot, fill it with water about 3/4 way up. Bring it to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer.

Slice the lemon and juice it. Add 3/4 of the juice to the water but hold on to the lemon slices. Once the juice has been added to the water, keep the lemon water on low simmer.

For the remaining lemon juice, fill up a medium mixing bowl with cold water and add the juice to it. Set aside

Roll out each dough sheet to about 9” x 14”. Roll it as thin as possible.

Slice the dough into smaller pieces about 1.5” x 7”.

Spread the apple butter onto each dough slice and set aside

Core and cut the apples in half.

As soon as the apples have been cut in half, rub the cut areas of the apples with the lemon slices to prevent browning.

Using a mandoline (or you can also just thinly slice it free hand) slice the apples into thin slices.

As soon as the apples are sliced, place them into the lemon water in the mixing bowl.

Once each batch of the apples are sliced, cook for about 2 to 5 minutes or until the apples have softened enough to fold without breaking.

Once each batch of the apple slices are cooked, scoop out and place on paper towels to dry.

Take one of the dough slices and place it horizontally in front of you.

Place the cooled apple slices onto the dough slice so that the bottom of the cut slice is around the mid horizontal point of the dough

Place the second apple slice so that it overlaps the first slice about half way. Continue until you have cover the entire top half of the dough slice.

Then fold up the dough slice so that it covers the apples.

Gently roll starting from the left hand side, in a spiral roll, until you get to the end.

Place the rose into the cupcake tray and continue making them until the tray is full.

Place the cupcake tray in the oven and bake for about 20 to 30 minutes or until the dough is golden and is cooked through. The apple slices may start to burn and if that happens, cover with aluminum foil and continue cooking.

Allow to cool briefly then dust the top of the roses with powdered sugar.

Enjoy while still warm with your homemade ice cream.

Also great at room temp.
