Mai mentions to Zuko she wants a fruit tart with rose petals on top. We never see the tart but this is what I imagine it to look like.

Ingredients

Tarts

  • 1 apple
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Store bought pie crust

Caramel

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water (infuse the water with rose petals or rose tea)
  • 6 tablespoons salted butter cut into pieces
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt

Instructions

  1. Remove the core and thinly slice the apple.
  2. Combine the apple slices with lemon juice and water in a bowl and microwave 3 minutes.
  3. Cool the bowl
  4. Pat dry the apple slices and set aside.
  5. Roll out the pie crustand cut into 4 even strips.
  6. Arrange the apple slices vertically on half of each pie crust strip.
  7. Fold the crust lengthwise on top of the apple slices and roll up.
  8. Place the apple pastry rolls into greased muffin tins.
  9. Bake for 40 minutes at 375 degrees F.

Caramel Instructions

  1. Infuse your water with rose petals or rose tea
  2. Add the sugar and water to a 3-quart saucepan set over medium heat. Stir until combined. Do Not Stir Again! Simply swirl the saucepan until the sugar has melted and turns a light amber color.
  3. Carefully add your butter and whisk until all the butter has melted.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and slowly pour in the cream, whisking constantly until all of the cream has been incorporated. Whisk in the sea salt and set aside to cool.
  5. Allow to cool about 5 minutes and then drizzle on top of pastries.
