Apple Flowers

August 12, 2016

Using a mandolin, slice red or green apples (peels on) as thinly as possible. Remove core/seeds and cut into half moons/crescent shapes.  Saute in butter and apple pie spices (cinnamon, sugar, nutmeg, ginger, cloves) until tender.

Roll out a sheet of pie crust and cut into 1 inch strips. Lay apple slices (overlapping) along the length of 1 strip. Roll up to form a flower. Place in tiny muffin tins and bake @ 400° for 20-30 minutes.

These may be added to the top of an apple pie or served individually as mini apples pies.
