Today i'll share with you my favorite Rose Apple pie. These
mini tarts not only have a wonderful shape but also a tasty apple pie flavour. I used to make old fashioned apple pie with my mother but after getting married i start to try my own recipes and try new things with old fashioned recipes, cooking was my hobby and my over time fun.
It may looks difficult to make i may take some time with shaping the roses but it worth every single moments, the result were incredibly awesome not only the shape but also the taste.
Every single bite will take you to another world, the yummy pastry crust filled with homemade apple puree and the sweet apple roses all these made a perfect pie with my cup of tea.
