Apple Rose Tarts

Ingredients:

4 Large apples

110g of plain flour

50g of butter

2-3tbp water

Rose syrup

1) Preheat the oven to 180C and line two baking trays with greaseproof paper.

2) In a large bowl, rub together the butter and flour using your finger tips until the mixture forms breadcrumbs. Add the water and mix to a firm dough, wrap in clingfilm and leave in the fridge whilst you prepare the filling.

3) Cut the apples lengthways in two quarters. Using a sharp knife, cut very thin slices of apples, which should form a semi-circle shape. You need these slices to be as thin as possible.

4) Roll out the pastry on a well-floured surface into to a rectangle shape, roughly 0.5cm thick. Using a sharp knife to cut long strips of pastry.

5) Take a strip of pastry and lay the apple slices along the length of the pastry, then roll the pastry up like a swiss roll. Pinch the bottom on the pastry to seal it and place it on the prepared baking tray.

6) Repeat until all of the pastry is used. Before placing in the oven, drizzle over rose syrup and use a pastry brush to push the syrup into the folds of the tart.

7) Bake for 15-20minutes or until the pastry is brown. Serve hot with ice cream.
