We recommend a good cup of coffee or cappuccino!

Check out the simple steps below.

INGREDIENTS (MAKES 6)

1 roll puff pastry
1 medium-sized apple
1 persimmon
6 tsp chestnut beer jelly (can be substituted with brown sugar)
75g Castello Double Cream Brie
1 egg

HOW TO MAKE APPLE ROSES

1. Slice the fruit & roll out the pastry

Slice apple and persimmon into very thin wedges. Add the apple slices to the water when it starts to simmer (just below boiling point) and simmer for approx. 4 min. until they are tender and easy to roll. Place them on a cloth to cool.

Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into 6 long strips. Brush with egg along the base and on one end.

2. Place the apples

Along the top edge of the dough, place the apple slices so they stick up just above the top, then add a few slices of persimmon, some chestnut beer jelly and cheese.
