Slice the apples into very thin wedges.

Place the apple slices in a microwave-safe bowl with a splash of water, the juice of the lemon, and the blackberries.

Stage 4

Microwave for 2–3 minutes until the apples start to soften.

Stage 5

Gently crush the blackberries to release their colour, then microwave for another minute.

Stage 6

Cut the puff pastry sheets into strips about 5cm wide.

Stage 7

Spread a teaspoon of apple compote along each strip, then arrange the apple slices along the top half of the pastry.

Stage 8

Carefully roll each strip up to form a rose shape.

Stage 9

Place each rose into a muffin tin to help keep its shape while baking.

Stage 10

Bake for 30–40 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden.
