Air Fryer Apple Rose Tarts

In a bowl, mix water, two tablespoons of sugar, and the juice of one lemon, and set aside.

Cut the large apple in half, remove the core and seeds. Cut it into four larger sections, and then slice as thinly as possible.

Place the thin apple slices into the water, lemon, and sugar mixture and microwave for 4 minutes to soften them.

Cut the ready-made puff pastry into strips approximately three fingers wide.

Spread a thin layer of dulce de leche down the center of each strip of puff pastry.

Arrange the softened apple slices over the dulce de leche, lining them up end-to-end so they slightly overlap.

Fold the puff pastry over the apples, securing the slices well, and roll up the strip, forming the shape of a rose.

To maintain the shape in the Air Fryer, wrap the base of the tart with a strip of aluminum foil or use a cupcake liner that is safe for the appliance.

Bake in the Air Fryer at 200°C (approximately 400°F) for 15 minutes.

Serve the apple rose tart, optionally accompanied by a scoop of ice cream.
