Place the puff pastry sheet on a floured bench – roll out slightly and cut horizontally into three strips.
With a desert spoon place a spoon of apricot jam and spread across the strip
Place the apples with the red side to the base of the sheet, overlap each apple piece by a half.
Sprinkle with cinnamon and fold the half down the pastry to cover some of the apple leave the red part showing.
Roll up the flower to reveal a lovely petal shape pastry.
