Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the pie crust

If using store-bought, let come to room temperature. If making homemade, prepare according to your recipe. Roll out and fit into a 9-inch pie dish. Refrigerate while preparing filling.

2
Preheat the oven

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

3
Prepare the apples

Wash and core apples. Cut in half from top to bottom. Slice very thinly (about 1/8 inch thick). Place in a large bowl. Squeeze lemon juice over apple slices to prevent browning.

4
Make the filling mixture

In a small bowl, mix sugar, cinnamon, flour, and salt. Sprinkle over apple slices. Toss gently to coat.

5
Soften the apple slices

Add water to the bowl. Microwave for 1-2 minutes until slices are slightly flexible but not mushy. Let cool enough to handle.

6
Form the roses

Melt butter. Brush the pie crust with some of the melted butter. Take about 10-12 apple slices and arrange in a straight line, overlapping slightly. Roll up tightly to form a rose shape. Place in the center of the pie crust. Continue making roses and arranging them in the pie dish. Fill any gaps with smaller roses or individual apple slices.

7
Finish the pie

Brush the tops of the apple roses with remaining melted butter. Sprinkle with any remaining sugar mixture.

8
Bake the pie

Bake for 45-50 minutes until crust is golden and apples are tender. If edges brown too quickly, cover with foil.

9
Cool and serve

Let cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
