Moreover, the apple roses last for 2-3 days in the fridge! Apple Rose Tarte Tatin The great news is that they can hold their own - so, if you want a dollop of cream or crème fraîche, then it's purely for taste but not essential. While my roses were sitting in the fridge to be used, I made some mascarpone cream from the Saint-Honoré recipe in Teatime in Paris (replacing the violet with vanilla, of course!), just so that the rose could be held in shape - but the biggest surprise came when I realised the cream wasn't needed for prop reasons!

Alain Passard's roses are rolled from one large rectangular peeled apple "sheet" (I LOVE the look of this machine to do this!), packed one next to the other, and lightly baked in the oven. where the technique of wrapping the pastry around the apple slices is used to hold the rose in shape.
