Method

Core apples. 

Cut in to halves and cut thin slices. Add this to a bowl add the lemon juice, water and sugar mix it well then microwave for 2- 3 minutes or till they just soften ( do not overcook or else you will not be able to roll them). 

Remove all the slices on to paper towel,

let them dry spread on a plate.

Dust the board with flour generously. Roll the pastry sheet and cut broad strips.
Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of water in strawberry jam mix it well to make it a spreading consistency.

Spread jam on a sheet strip, 

now place slices on it. 

Fold on side of the sheet on to the apple to hold them in place.

Roll it into a rose shape.

Here the rose is ready, like wise make the rest.
