Nothing says romance like roses and dessert.

This dessert is indeed a romantic stunner and a perfect Autumn dessert. We have rolled up Braeburn apples to create lovely little roses and baked them on top of our blondie mix. Apples, white chocolate, cinnamon, brown sugar: truly a combo made in heaven!

Method (by Secret Kiwi Kitchen)

Preheat the oven to 180°C

• Prepare Secret Kiwi Kitchen Blondie Mix as directed in the instructions
• Pour batter into a greased cast-iron skillet or pan of choice.
• Next spread a fine coat of caramel sauce over the top of blondie mix.
• Pre-bake blondies for 10 minutes.
• Leave to cool while prepping apples.

Preparing the apples

• Slice apples into thin slices (use a mandoline).
• Bring a pan of water or apple juice to a boil adding a squeeze of lemon and baking spices. The lemon will prevent the apple slices from turning brown and will turn the colour of the apple skins into a beautiful varied bouquet of colours.
• Add sliced apples for 1-2 minutes. They should be slightly soft, but not breaking.
• Strain apples and place apple slices onto a clean dish towel. Pat dry.

• Place the apple slices overlapping slightly on a cutting board. Cut in half, then slowly roll up into rose buds.
• Place buds over the entire surface of the brownie pan.

• Once all roses have been added to the skillet pan, heat in a small pan some jelly and add baking spices to taste.
• Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of the rosettes to glaze before baking.
• Place skillet in oven and bake until rosettes and blondie mix are cooked through approximately 20-25 minutes.
• Serve with ice cream.
