Apple roses in EVOO dough

03/11/2015 By Margarita 2 Comments

Tasty-mediterraneo-apple-roses-cakes-EVOO-doughI have never counted calories in food, and I never will. But what I have always done, and will continue to do, is to pay attention to the balance of nutrients of the food I am going to eat and to its energetic effects, freshness, texture, taste, seasonality… as well as to the effects that certain foods may have on my body.

I strongly believe that if you are following a balance diet such as the Mediterranean diet and you practice some kind of sport, you have no need to make your life complicated counting calories. All you need is to enjoy your healthy meal and your life.
What about you? Do you usually count calories?

Tasty-mediterraneo-apple-roses-recipe
Today’s recipe is my family’s classic apple tart, although I gave it a twist in shape and prepared it as individual rose shaped cakes. The dough I use for these apple roses is my multipurpose olive oil dough. Do you remember my multipurpose olive oil dough recipe?
If you are a usual follower of my blog I am sure you remember it pretty well as it is the dough you have already used for many of my recipes: “Spinach Fatayers”, “Za’atar Man’ouche”, “Olive Oil & Chia Grissini”, “Pizza Margherita di Bufala”, “Coca de Trampó”, “Spanish empanadas”… And now you will also use it for this delicious rose shaped dessert!

Author: Margarita @ Tasty Mediterraneo
Cuisine: Mediterranean Diet
Serves: 10 apple roses
Ingredients
For the dough:
  • 300g (2 ½ cups) Plain flour
  • 75ml (2.7 fl oz) Extra virgin olive oil
  • 150ml (5.4 fl oz) Warm water
  • 2 Teaspoons yeast powder
For the apple roses:
  • 5 red apples, cut in half and thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon salt or 1 tablespoon lemon juice (to soak the apple slices in water for preventing them to turn brown)
  • Honey (or Agave syrup for a vegan option)
  • 1 Tablespoon powder sugar (optional)
Instructions
For the dough:
  1. Follow the instructions as explained in my Multipurpose Olive Oil Dough recipe. But skip the salt.
  2. Once you have flattened out the dough, trying to give it a rectangular shape, with the help of a sharp knife cut the dough into strips (With the dough in this recipe you can make approximately 10 strips)
For the apple roses
  1. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees C (350 degrees F).
  2. Lightly grease a non-stick muffin tray with olive oil (or if you prefer line it with muffin paper cases) and set aside.
  3. Wash well the apples. Leave the peel on. Cut them in half, core them and slice them thinly. To avoid the cut apple to turn brown either put the apple slices in a large bowl filled with water and a teaspoon salt, or in a large bowl filled with water and a tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice. I usually opt for the salted water. To be able to easily bend the apple slices without breaking them you can boil them in the salted water in a pan on the stove for 2 minutes. Then drain, rinse well and place them on paper towel.
  4. Place the apple slices end to end down on each strip of dough, fold up the bottom part of the dough and carefully roll up each strip to form the roses (check my step by step pictures). And place them in the muffin tray. Add on top of each apple rose some drops of honey (or Agave syrup for a vegan option).
  5. Bake in the middle of the oven for 20-25 min or until golden at 175 degrees C (350 degrees F).
  6. Remove from the oven and leave to cool on a cooling rack.
  7. Before serving you can add a small dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
I only add a few drops of agave syrup for each apple rose and a small dusting of powdered sugar at the end. This is because I consider red apples to be already sweet and the touch of agave syrup is enough for me. It is also a way to keep them light and healthy. But if you have a sweet tooth you could add some unrefined sugar on top of the roses before baking them.
Also they are very tasty if you add some cinnamon before rolling the dough strips.

A tasty & nutritious vegan "Mediterranean tomato & red pepper soup” 👉
https://www.tastymediterraneo.com/mediterranean-tomato-red-pepper-soup/ 🌱The traditional Mediterranean diet is characterised by an increased intake of plant foods such as fruits and vegetables, bread and cereals (primarily whole grain), legumes and nuts. And olive oil is the principal source of fat. All of these main ingredients of the Mediterranean diet are important sources of dietary antioxidants.

The Mediterranean diet is healthy yet indulgent, with a huge amount of delicious meals what makes it easy to be sustained over long periods of time as an appealing lifestyle.

This week I’m attending #FENS2019 the European Nutrition Conference in Dublin organised by the @the_nutrition_society , the main target of this conference is to address malnutrition in an obese world from an European perspective. Stay tuned to my stories if you’d like to learn more about this conference.

Una sabrosa y nutritiva “Sopa mediterránea de tomate y pimiento rojo" 🌱La dieta mediterránea tradicional está caracterizada por una mayor ingesta de alimentos vegetales como frutas y verduras, pan y cereales (principalmente granos integrales), legumbres y nueces. Y el aceite de oliva es la principal fuente de grasa. Todos estos ingredientes de la dieta mediterránea son fuentes importantes de antioxidantes.

La dieta mediterránea es saludable pero indulgente, con una gran cantidad de platos deliciosos, lo que hace que sea fácil mantenerse como un estilo de vida atractivo.

Esta semana asisto a FENS 2019 la Conferencia Europea de Nutrición en Dublín organizada por @the_nutrition_society, el objetivo principal de esta conferencia es abordar la desnutrición en un mundo obeso desde una perspectiva europea.

Good morning!😊 As you may have seen in my stories I’m in Bilbao attending the “Food Fashion Festival”. In June I was invited as a Key Food & Health #Influencer of the European Union to an event in Brussels called “Eating the Gap”

After this event, organized by @EUFIC @EITeu @Food.Unfolded & @uniofreading , the #EatingTheGap social media challenge was launched and, since they liked the content I created, I’ve been invited to attend this festival 👏

The food fashion festival is about the future of food, food innovation & sustainability. Stay tuned to my stories!

This dish is my version of the Italian dish “Pasta e fagioli” https://www.tastymediterraneo.com/mediterranean-white-beans-with-pasta-pasta-fagioli/

New recipe on the blog! 
My "Mediterranean chickpea & vegetable stew”👉 https://www.tastymediterraneo.com/mediterranean-chickpea-vegetable-stew/ 😋perfect for @meatfreemonday 
Those of you who are regular followers of my work already know that I love pulses & you can find plenty of healthy vegetarian & vegan Mediterranean diet recipes with pulses on my blog.
Not only I love pulses but I had the honour to speak at @UnitedNations headquarter in New York about the importance of pulses in the Mediterranean diet (the link is in my bio). Pulses, because of their nutritional qualities, are very healthy & nutritious foods. In the context of a balanced diet, pulses are a key food to prevent non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Pulses help to improve heart health, to reduce cholesterol & they also help to control weight given its satiating ability. Regular consumption of legumes, especially combined with vegetables like in this dish, helps maintain a healthy weight. 
Enjoy & happy healthy cooking!❤️ •

Mi "Estofado mediterráneo de garbanzos y verduras"👉 https://www.tastymediterraneo.com/es/estofado-mediterraneo-de-garbanzos-y-verduras/ 😋es ideal para el #lunessincarne

Los que sois seguidores habituales de mi trabajo ya sabéis que me encantan las legumbres y podéis encontrar muchas recetas vegetarianas y veganas saludables de la dieta mediterránea con legumbres en mi blog.
No sólo me gustan, sino que tengo el honor de haber hablado en la sede de las @NacionesUnidas en New York de la importancia de las legumbres en la dieta mediterránea (el enlace está en mi bio). Las legumbres, por sus cualidades nutricionales, son alimentos muy saludables y nutritivos. En el contexto de una dieta equilibrada, las legumbres son un alimento clave para prevenir las enfermedades no transmisibles (ENT). Ayudan a mejorar la salud del corazón, a reducir el colesterol y también ayudan a controlar el peso dada su capacidad saciante. El consumo habitual de legumbres, especialmente combinadas con verduras como en este plato, ayuda a mantener un peso saludable. ¡Buen provecho y feliz cocina saludable!

Good morning!😊
Have you already tried my Lebanese family recipe for “Muhammara: hot red pepper dip”?👉https://www.tastymediterraneo.com/muhammara-hot-red-pepper-dip/ 😋

Eating a nutritious diet has many benefits for you, not only for your physical health, to avoid non-communicable diseases, but also for your psychological health. I always tell my nutrition & health coaching clients when they decide to start a healthy lifestyle following the Mediterranean diet, that they should have realistic expectations.

Having realistic expectations will increase your chances of maintaining a healthy lifestyle in the long-term.

When you want to change your lifestyle to a healthier lifestyle you shouldn’t think about how you feel hours, days or even weeks later, but how you’ll feel after months & years.

We’re all different, & thus there’s not a perfect way of eating that works for every one of us. It’s very important to find a way of eating & exercising that you enjoy. If you find your happy place, it’ll be easier for you to sustain those healthy habits in the long run!

Happy healthy cooking! ❤️ •
 ________________🇪🇸Español______________ ¡Hola!
Habéis probado la receta de mi familia libanesa de Muhammara?👉https://www.tastymediterraneo.com/es/muhammara/
😋

Llevar una alimentación sana tiene muchos beneficios, no solo para su salud física sino también para su salud psicológica. Siempre les digo a mis clientes de coaching cuando deciden comenzar un estilo de vida saludable siguiendo la dieta mediterránea, que deben tener expectativas realistas.

Tener expectativas realistas aumentará sus posibilidades de mantener un estilo de vida saludable a largo plazo.
Cuando uno cambia a un estilo de vida saludable, no debe pensar en cómo se sentirá horas, días o incluso semanas más tarde, sino en cómo se sentirá después de meses y de años.

Todos somos diferentes, y no hay una manera perfecta de comer que funcione para cada uno de nosotros. Es importante encontrar una manera de alimentarse y hacer ejercicio que se adapte a nuestras necesidades y gustos. Si estás a gusto, ¡será más fácil mantener esos hábitos saludables a largo plazo!
¡Feliz cocina saludable!❤
