Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Wash and core the apples, then slice them thinly into half-moons.

In a bowl, toss the apple slices with lemon juice, sugar, and cinnamon until well coated.

Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into strips.

Melt butter and brush it over the pastry strips.

Lay apple slices along the edge of the pastry strips, overlapping them slightly.

Fold the bottom of the pastry strip up to cover the bottom of the apple slices.

Starting from one end, roll the pastry strip tightly to form a rose shape.

Place the apple roses in a muffin tin to hold their shape while baking.

Brush the tops with remaining melted butter and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake for 30-35 minutes until the pastry is golden and the apples are tender.

Let cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar.
