Healthy Baked Apple Roses



Apple roses are one of the beautiful autumn desserts in which the apples are beautifully styled as roses and then baked as a pastry. Usually, the puff pastry is made up of all-purpose flour which I again don't prefer in my baking. Hence, here I have made a quick whole wheat pastry dough which is much healthier and filling.

I like refined sugar free desserts. I am always in search of ingredients that can replace refined sugar. So in this recipe, I have used organic maple syrup which gives both the apple slices as well as the pastry a beautiful sweet flavor.
Usually, these are made by rolling a row of half apple slices and attached with pastry dough. And the end result resembles the shape of a rose flower. These will come out so beautiful that you will think about whether to eat or put it for display!!

Use a softer variety of apples like Fuji, pink lady, or gala. I would prefer a very sharp knife to cut thin slices of apples. Making a rose out of apple slices seems difficult but actually, it is very easy if you follow these steps.
Let's dig in the recipe.

INGREDIENTS:
To make the rose:
Gala apples 3 small
Maple syrup for coating 

To make the pastry:
Whole wheat flour 1cup
Butter 1/4 cup
Maple syrup 2 tsp
Ice cold water 2-3 tbsp

INSTRUCTION:
1.Firstly prepare the apples by washing and wiping them dry.Now cut an apple into half. Cut away the core part of the apple and start making thin and even slices with a very sharp knife.Keep the slices in a bowl of water. Continue with all other apples.
2.Preheat the oven to 350 degree F

3.Now place all the apple slices on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.Coat these slices with maple syrup using a brush or back of the spoon.
4.Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake them for 10 -15 minutes.

5.Meanwhile let's make the pastry dough.In a bowl, add whole wheat flour, room temperature butter chunks, salt, and maple syrup.Mix well with your hands so that the butter blends well with the flour.

6.Add water spoon by spoon and bring everything together to make a dough.Now roll it in a parchment paper and refrigerate for.  15-20 minutes.
7.Once the apple slices are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool.Dont off the oven.You will need to bake again.

8.Take the pastry dough out of the refrigerator.Take a small lemon sized dough and spread it to make a small circle with hand.Make 4 circles ready.Keep aside.

8.To make the rose,arrange 10 to 12 apple slices in a straight line keeping them one after the other overlapping.

9.Start rolling them carefully to make a rose.

10.Now place that rose carefully on the circled dough and seal the sides to the rose.Continue making roses out of other apple slices.And sealing them over the circled pastry dough.

11.Preheat the oven to 400 degree F.

12.Grease a muffin tray with some oil.Place these prepared apple roses in a muffin tray.
12.Bake them in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes till the dough rises and gets a nice brown color.

12.Once baked , take them out of the oven, Cool and garnish with castor sugar(optional) if desired.

Eggless Brazilian Cheese Bread

Pao de Queijo (pronounced as pown -deh- kay-zho) aka Brazilian Cheese Bread is a small baked cheese bun, a popular snack and breakfast food that originated in the state Minas Gerais of Brazil. These are bread/buns usually made with tapioca flour, milk, oil, cheese, salt, and egg/egg substitute. Since I don't use eggs in my baking I have used vinegar instead. These are soft, chewy and so addictive. I love to make healthy bakes from all around the world. Inspired by this YouTube video by Something Dave and I gave it a try as it was an eggless version.These came out so well. These are super simple and easy to make with just five ingredients. A must try because they are gluten-free, contain no yeast, no baking powder, yet so soft and cheesy😋 I had never tried baking with tapioca flour...and found it so interesting to bake with. The dough is too sticky and you will need some extra flour to be dusted to make balls out of it. I have used plant-based pa...

Huli pudi (Sambar Powder) North Karnataka style

Huli Pudi is one of the authentic traditional Sambar powders which has been passed on from generation to generation. This is specially made in North Karnataka. There is a wide variety of sambar powders not only within Karnataka but within South India. Each region has it's own way of adding ingredients and making them. In North Karnataka brahmin families, you can usually see two types of Sambars, firstly 'Saaru ' which can also be called Rasam with Toor dal. The consistency is thin and usually made with Tur dal and tomatoes or Tamarind. The other one is 'Huli' which is thicker in consistency and usually includes some veggies or greens. So here I am sharing the Sambar powder that is used to make a typical Huli. This is so unique and different from South Karnataka Sambar powders. The main difference being the omission of urad dal and Tur dal. This powder is just made with dried spices. This can be made in advance in large quantities/batches and stored in a...
