3-Ingredient Apple Rose Tarts
3-Ingredient Apple Rose Tarts are super simple to make and look impressive- no one will know how easy they were! Filled with warm, drippy peanut butter, fresh apples all in a crispy mini phyllo cup!
To make the apple roses, you just take a peeler to an apple- I used a pink lady apple and a gala apple. You start peeling around the apple- not just the skin but the flesh too, until you have about a 6-10 inch piece of apple. Then, you just start rolling it up until it looks like a flower. Ta da! Magic!
I call these 3-ingredient because that is how I made them but if you want a sweeter dessert, you can add a bit of honey. If you don't plan to eat them right away, squeeze a bit of lemon juice on top before baking along with the honey.
My plan when making these was to buy puff pastry but it was super expensive. I saw these mini phyllo cups for fraction of the cost and thought that they would be even better for this recipe. I was right! Also, two of the mini phyllo cups were only 30 calories helping to make this quite a light dessert. The filling is just drippy peanut butter. When you bake them up, they taste delicious with all of the sweet and melted peanut butter. So easy, healthy and delicious.

**If you like a sweeter treat, drizzle with honey or maple syrup.
**If you plan to eat later, make sure to squeeze a little lemon juice over the apples so that they do not brown.
