Puffed Apple Pastry

Good Morning My Friends ~

I found an amazing recipe on Pinterest the other day ~

I am so excited to share this with you.  It was so easy to make & yes I did use the new Baking Station.  Makes life a little easier when everything is right there for you.

Ingredients ~

3 Apples ~ I used Gala apples ~

2 sheets of puffed pastries, thawed

6T of apricot preserves

4T of water

Juice from  1/2 a lemon or 2T of lemon juice

Cinnamon

Sugar

I used 3T sugar and 1T of cinnamon ~

Directions ~

Remove puffed pastries from freezer and thaw according to package

Slice the apples in half from top to bottom

Remove the core ends and then scoop out the core in the center ~ I used a melon ball scooper ~

Slice the apples into very thin slices

Fill a medium sized bowl half full of water and squeeze the lemon juice into the water.

Place the sliced apples in the water and microwave for 5 minutes until slightly tender.

Drain the apples into a colander.

Mix the apricot preserves and water together in a bowl.

When pastries are thawed, place them flat on a floured surface.

Roll the pastries out with a rolling pin the flatten just a little more.

Cut each pastry into 6 equal slices.

One at a time, spoon apricot preserve mixture onto a slice of pastry.

Place 7-9 apple slices along one half of the pastry slice with the peel side facing out.

Fold the pastry in half to cover the apples.

Starting on one end, roll the pastry and apples to the other end of the pastry.

Place in a muffin tin.

Continue with the other pieces of pastries until you have 12 apple roses.

Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar if desired.  (I mix 1T cinnamon to 3T of sugar)

Place a pan of water on the bottom rack of oven so the bottom of pastries do not burn.

Bake at 375 for 40 -45 minutes.

Top with a little powered sugar if desired as well.

ENJOY!!!

They are so good ~

~ Makes 12 apple pastries ~

Have a wonderful day.

Much love,

Rose

Good Morning Everyone ~

Well it’s finally finished ~ My red & white entryway.

When stenciling the Welcome on the milk jug, and the stripe on the tabletop ~ I kept reminding myself, less is best, but it was so hard for me to only do the stripe & the welcome.   I wanted to add a heart stencil with little flowers on either side, but in the end I knew this looked best.

I went to a local nursery & purchased a terracotta pot ~ and painted it red ~ that really made the space a bit brighter.  I thought I had too much white, and it did need a little bit more red touches.

I am very happy with how it all came out.

Hope you all have a wonderful day ~ the weather is just beautiful ~

Much love,

Rose

Here you can see the entire entryway ~

Here is the chair finished with the red & white stripe seat cover & the cute little Relax pillow ~

The table came out so sweet ~ the round piece of wood is from those tables we use to have in the 90’s with the long tablecloths ~ Pete spray painted it white, and I stenciled the stripes. ~

The milk jug was red ~ Pete spray painted it white, then I stenciled the Welcome ~ I also used E6000 glue around the rim of the milk jug then attached the round top ~ It’s there to stay ~

Hi Friends ~

I have to share the rocking chair with you ~ It’s only has one coat of stain, but it looks beautiful.

I will finish up with the second coat tomorrow ~

Pete is working on a little project too.  He is spray painting the milk jug & the round wood top which will hold a cup of coffee “OR” a glass of wine.

When we finish and have it all together I will post more pictures.

Enjoy ~

Have a wonderful rest of your day.

Much love,

Rose

In case you missed my post yesterday ~ This is how it looked before the stain ~

Only 1 coat of stain ~

Can’t wait to see how the red & white chair cover looks on it, & the little red pillow ~

So happy with how it came out. ~

Good Morning my friends ~

As I sit in Pete’s chair (again) I’m looking out at the beautiful snowfall we had last night.

Don’t get me wrong, I am getting tired of all the snow and the cold, but it just looks so pretty out there.

I have been sick for the past 3 days – fever and aches and pains in my joints.  I am starting to feel better, and I am very grateful, and it must be why I see the beauty in the snow.

Only a few more weeks until we start to see warmer weather again.  I know we will all appreciate spring this year.  Maybe we needed this cold weather to really appreciate what spring brings us.

Wishing you all an amazing day today.

Much love,

Rose
