- Lemon Juice: 1 tablespoon
- Ground Cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon
- Granulated Sugar (or honey): 2 tablespoons

5. 5. Spread a thin layer of melted butter on each pastry strip. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.
6. 6. Arrange apple slices slightly overlapping along the top half of each pastry strip. Ensure the apple skin peaks out slightly.
7. 7. Fold the bottom half of the pastry strip up over the apples.
8. 8. Carefully roll the pastry strip from one end to the other, forming a rose shape.
9. 9. Place each pastry rose into a prepared muffin tin cup.
10. 10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender.
11. 11. Let your Apple Roses For Rosh Hashanah cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar.
