Apple "Rose" Muffins



Ingredients:
(Yields ~8  muffins)
  • 3 apples 
  • 80g butter
  • 50g muscovado sugar (alternatively white or brown)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 150g flour
  • a dash of milk
Dough:
1. Thoroughly blend soft butter with sugar in a bowl until creamy.
2. Add egg and vanilla and whisk together.
3. Add flour and mix well.
4. Add a dash of milk to achieve a consistency more fluid than Mürbeteig but firmer than pancakes batter.

Rose petals:
1. Cut apples in half and remove the core.
2. Slice the apples into ~2mm slices.
3. Spread out the slices onto a plate suitable for microwave usage. (Optional: Sprinkle some vanilla sugar onto the slices. This depends on how sour the apples are)
4. Pop the plate with apple slices into the microwave on high heat for 3-4 min. This will soften the apples so that they don't break when roling later.


  

Combining:
1. Fill the muffin cups half way with dough.
2. After the apples have cooled slightly, layer 11-15 slices in a line on a cutting board, so that the semi circles overlap each other half way.
3. Start rolling up the apples slices starting at the first one that had been layed down. This requires both hands and sometimes a bit of fiddling work.
4. Place the rolled up apple slices into the muffin cups containing dough, push down slightly and adjust the pattals to your liking.
5. Bake at 150°C for around 20-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Adjust temperature or time if the apple slices start getting too brown.
