A range of ingredients for the pie (cake) is very simple.

Mix a few seconds flour, icing sugar and salt I mixed in a blender with flat blades (mode pulse, a few seconds). At this stage not necessary to achieve uniformity. Add the butter from the fridge, cut into small pieces. Stir in the pulse mode for a few seconds.

Add the yolk and mix again for a few seconds in pulse mode.

Add to the dough 1 tbsp. ice water and 1 tbsp of lemon juice. Stir with a blender for a few seconds. I pour plain water into a glass and add a few pieces of ice here and ready to very cold water!

Put the dough on the table and quickly gather it into a ball, do not try to knead. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for the delay at least half an hour.

So far everything was most common and was not worth the fuss. Go to new - roses are red. So, take the apples. Here we are waiting for insidious: during baking, the edge of the petal is usually undercooked, and apples will also be the usual color of baked apples, no matter how beautiful we didn't take it. And I wanted pink! For this we will need quite a bit of fruit (perfect frozen, unfreeze them is not necessary.) Take any apples and cut them into 2 equal halves. Now each half cut in thin slices, like an onion (i.e. not cut along the radius, but it is like an onion half-rings). Don't forget to cut the core with seeds. Cut into thin, 1-2 mm. If the Apple slice will be thicker (3mm), the roses are bigger in size (in diameter), but collapse it will be less convenient. I liked to work with the slimmer, faster, and easier, and look very impressive and presentable. Take berries, cranberries, blackberries or any other berries quite a bit - is important to us juice. Cranberries gives a more delicate hue, and color I liked more.

Sliced apples along with the berries, place in a bowl suitable for the microwave. Fill the bowl with hot water, add 1-2 tbsp of lemon juice. Water should be sufficient to cover all the Apple slices. * I tried to fill a Cup with cold water, too - hot I liked more. Put this bowl in the microwave for 1 min. in 1 min. you need to crush the berries, water will become a beautiful pink color. You can cook several bowls of water with different berries, then the Apple slices are different colors. Then again, return the apples in a bowl in the microwave for 2 minutes - the apples should become elastic and flexible. To drain the water. Anyone have a microwave - just bring the pot to a boil and simmer for literally 1 minute, it is necessary that the apples have become elastic. After boiling the apples are very saturated with moisture, and may need more time for baking in the oven. Here out of curiosity I picked blackberries and blueberries! Overdone, rose turned dark red, almost Burgundy color, but shade is easily adjustable kind of berries and their quantity. Roses in the photo turned out darker than they really are. Want to warn you that when you get the apples from the microwave, they are not a rich color, which become in a few minutes - compare this photo and the following made literally within 2-3 minutes. Don't know how to explain this phenomenon.

The apples are cooked very quickly. Now you need to drain and clean the remnants of berries. See how saturated the color was the Apple? It took 3 minutes.

Take the finished puff pastry, defrosted of course, and cut into strips with a length of 25 cm and a width of about 2-2,5 see in This strip need to slightly roll it out, and get approximately 4 cm in width. A strip of greater width is not very convenient. The dough I cut a metal line, remember, I have already shared this know-how? The thinner will be the layer of dough and the thickness of the Apple slices, the faster the roses will be ready.

Lubricates the strip in a thin layer of hot apricot jam (it easier to brush). You can take any jam or jam, it is important that the layer was thin. You can do without this sweet layer, but it is possible if your apples are not very sweet (I add nothing, I'm fine).

Now place the 7-8 of Apple slices slightly overlapping to the middle of the strip width, and fold the strip along. Twist the rose is not exactly easy, because our preparations for roses is quite slippery, but not in a hurry and you will succeed.

Made roses better placed in paper molds for muffins that rose was fixed and it was not turning, but it doesn't particularly matter. In the form for cupcakes.

Bake at 180 degrees for 15 minutes. After this time - important!!! - cover rose Apple leaf foil, it make air holes. Now our apples will not burn and will not turn into a vague mush. Bake another 10-15 minutes, check the oven, and the apples we, too, are different. Note that the Apple slices have just been to the compote and, therefore, saturated with moisture, so the puff pastry is quite wet at first and needs time so it is cooked. More than a thin layer of rolled out dough, so the process will be faster.

When our roses will be ready, remove the pan from the oven, carefully take out our roses (very handy with a spoon) and allow to cool on a wire rack (enough 5 minutes). The total baking time of 35-45 minutes, watch your oven. Here we are at the fork - you can stop at this step, nicely put puff on a dish, generously sprinkle with powdered sugar and everyone will be happy. Bon appetit!

With the thrust we will continue further and will make a pie. It's simple - took the dough out of the fridge, roll it to shape with a diameter 24 cm, put in a baking pan, baked. Made cream filled cake, cream for planted roses is a concise. Who wants through the steps - I'm ready.

When you pulled the dough from the refrigerator, it is likely to look like a brick. Do not panic. Take two sheets of baking paper, put the dough between them and without much ADO, we roll out to a circle about 30 cm in diameter - a form I have 24 cm, plus you need the dough to the sides, that turned 30. Prick the dough with a fork, put together with paper in the form, to fill the cargo until the dough is smooth (I have buckwheat) and place in the oven with the temperature 180 degrees. After 15 minutes, remove the load and dopekat for another 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the cream.

Need any cream to plant roses if you have a favorite custard, then great! If there are no anything, that will suit even the jam. I make the cream very quickly beat with a mixer at high speed, 150 ml milk, 200 ml cream (I took our 38%, but even 10% will do) plus instant pudding (it's our secret ingredient for cooking cream). The cream thickens eyes, and in 2 minutes we have a beautiful cream.

I initially wanted to do cream with taste of condensed milk, and it is this pudding in the photo, made it, but at the last moment changed his mind and made vanilla.

To give the cake to cool completely, lay out and smooth the cream, decorate with roses made from apples. Optionally, you can sprinkle rose sugar powder. Here's a beautiful cake we did it!

Added the next day: While it is possible, add photos today ran home from work and quickly made roses with cranberry water, here they are in the picture. For your orientation - light - 2 tbsp frozen cranberries, richer - 4 tbsp all the roses in the picture only needed one Apple. The time from the moment I came home and then got ready roses in the oven is 31 minutes.
