Apple Rose Tartlets

To brighten my mood today, I played a bit in the kitchen this afternoon and tried this apple rose tartlets that I have always planned to make 🍎

They turned out yummy, merienda with coffee and because they have cinnamon (my favorite spice) kaya they were perfect. And I think they looked pretty. I’ll make some again using mangoes or maybe some peaches.

Don’t be fooled though on how pretty these pastries are because I bet you can easily make them yourselves. Here’s how.
