How it's done

Apple slices

Pour the lemon juice into a bowl. Halve the apples, remove the cores. With the skins still on, cut the apples into very thin slices, place in the lemon juice. Pour in the boiling water and leave the apple slices to soak for approx. 1 min. This will make them a little softer and easier to roll.

To shape the roses

Cut the dough crosswise into 6 strips. Spread the quince jelly on top. Drain the apples and arrange them slice by slice on the dough so that they overlap slightly. Fold the bottom section of the dough over the top. Roll up the strips of dough into roses, press the ends together gently. Place the apple roses in the prepared tin.

To bake

Approx. 30 mins. in the lower half of an oven preheated to 180°C. Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, dust with icing sugar, serve lukewarm.
