Poached Apple Roses Recipes

Steps:

• Add cranberry juice to gelatin mix in large saucepan; stir. Bring to boil on medium-high heat, stirring frequently.
• Add apples and cinnamon stick; partially cover pan with lid. Simmer on medium-low heat 10 to 15 min. or just until apples are tender, stirring occasionally. Remove apples from liquid; discard liquid or reserve for other use. (See tip.)
• Refrigerate apples 1 hour.
• Serve topped with COOL WHIP and nuts.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring the sugar, water and red-hots to a boil. Cook and stir until red-hots are dissolved, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat; carefully add apples. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or just until apples are tender, turning once., With a slotted spoon, remove apples to a large bowl. Bring syrup to a boil; cook, uncovered, until reduced to about 1-1/2 cups. Cool. Pour syrup over apples; cover and refrigerate until serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter 2 small ramekins (6 to 8 ounce) and dust with white sugar.
• Place apple slices on a plate, overlapping slightly if necessary. Microwave on High about 45 seconds just until slices have softened a bit. Cover plate with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel.
• Mix together sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
• Roll puff pastry sheet to less than 1/8-inch thickness. Using a pizza cutter, cut two 3-inch by 12-inch rectangles. Reserve remaining pieces for another use.
• Spread melted butter over dough; top with a generous amount of cinnamon-sugar. Place apple slices along 1 long edge of dough, about 1/4 inch beyond edge of dough, overlapping slices slightly. Fold bottom half of dough over the apple slices to form a long "folder" of dough with rounded edges of apple slices exposed.
• Beat egg and water together in a bowl. Paint surface of dough with egg wash. Sprinkle with more cinnamon-sugar, to taste.
• Starting from one end, roll dough not too tightly to form a rose-shaped pastry. Seal roll with end of dough strip.
• Transfer roses to prepared ramekins. Sprinkle with a little more cinnamon-sugar. Place ramekins directly on middle rack of preheated oven.
• Bake until well browned, about 45 minutes. Remove ramekins with tongs and place on baking sheet to cool 5 to 10 minutes. Remove apple roses from ramekins and finish cooling on rack. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients except the fruit in a large saucepan, turn the heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. As soon as the liquid boils, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the syrup for 5 minutes.
• Carefully drop the apples or pears into the pan and bring the syrup back to a simmer. Cover the pan and cook until the fruit can be pierced easily with a thin knife, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the fruit; check early and often. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the apples or pears to a bowl.
• Turn up the heat and boil the syrup for another 10 minutes, at which point you'll have about 1¼ cups. Pour the syrup over the fruit, cover, and let cool until slightly warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Bring apple juice, cinnamon, and ginger to a boil.
• Add apples, cover with parchment; simmer until tender, 8 minutes.
• Remove and sprinkle with walnuts.

Steps:

• Bring the water, lemon juice, and sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan. Remove syrup from heat; cover. Cut a round of parchment the same diameter as the saucepan.
• Core apples. Peel golden apples; using 1 lemon half, rub flesh. Squeeze juice from remaining half into hollows of (unpeeled) red apples. Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, cut all apples crosswise into paper-thin (less than 1/8 inch) slices. Transfer to syrup; shake pan to coat slices. Place parchment directly onto surface of apple mixture. Let syrup cool completely, about 40 minutes.
• Remove slices from syrup. Cut slices into semicircles. Stack 1 red apple slice on top of 1 golden slice, with cut edges nearest you. Wrap slices together into a cone shape to form a "bud." Stack 2 more slices. Placing them slightly above base (to create a staggered appearance), wrap them around bud. Repeat, wrapping until rose is about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Reserve leftover peeled slices for garnish.
