Instructions
 

For Making Basket.

  • Sieve or mix whole wheat flour, all purpose flour and salt i.e all the dry ingredients together..
  • Add oil and mix the oil in the flour evenly with the fingers to get a breadcrumb consistency.
  • Bind the whole mixture together by adding water. Don't knead.
  • Gather everything and form a dough. Don't over do.
  • Preheat your oven.
  • Grease your pie pan with oil. As I don't have a perfect pie pan, I am using small katoris which are somewhat look like a pie pan. Please excuse me for that.
  • Divide the dough into two equal parts depending on the size of your pie pans.
  • Roll the divided parts of the dough on a clean shelf after dusting all purpose floor or whole wheat floor.
  • On a greased pan, place one of the rolled pie crust gently and press it towards the bottom and the edges.
  • Fill with some weight. I am using Rajmash for the weight. You can also use dry beans or rice as weights.
  • Bake with weight for 20 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and carefully remove Rajmash.
  • Poke small holes in the bottom of the pie crust with a fork and return to oven (without the weight) and cook for more 10 minutes, until the basket turns golden.
  • Cool completely before filling.

For making Whipping Cream

  • In a big bowl, add some ice cubes and place the second bowl into first bowl.
  • Add cream and icing sugar into the bowl and beat the cream with an electric beater.
  • At the highest speed, run the electric blender and whip till the cream become stiff. Don’t overdo.
  • when you get stiff peaks, just stop.
  • To check, just invert the bowl and if the cream does not fall, the cream is ready.
  • Place it in the fridge.

For Apple Roses

  • In a bowl, mix powdered sugar and powdered cinnamon.
  • Finely slice unpeeled apples thinly.
  • On a non-stick pan, spread sugar-cinnamon mixture (use 1 tbs for one apple).
  • When the sugar starts to melt, arrange apple slices and over medium flame, cook for 1 minute from one side only.
  • When the apple slices become limp, transfer them into a plate.
  • The caramelized side should face upwards, otherwise the apple slices will stick to the plate. And let them cool completely. Repeat with the remaining apple slices.
  • For making apple roses, start with a small slice.
  • Roll the slices until the rose reaches the requisite size. With 4 medium sized apples, I could make about 20 roses.

Time to assemble Rose Basket

  • Take a piece of bread and cut it round and place it at the base of the basket.
  • Now spread the chopped nuts in the basket.
  • Then arrange the apple roses over the nuts across the basket. But reserve one rose for later use.
  • Leave the center space empty.
  • Now warm the basket in the preheated oven @ 180° C for 3 to 5 minutes. Be vigilant that the roses may not be over baked.
  • Timely bring them out of the oven otherwise roses will loose their appearance and texture. The care needed at this stage is very very high.
  • In the mean time, prepare the caramel glaze.
  • Add powdered sugar in a pan.
  • Melt sugar without water and cook until the sugar starts to turn into light brown on a low flame.
  • Add water and cook for 1 minute and stir constantly. But be careful while adding water to the hot sugar liquid.
  • Now bring the basket out of the oven and brush the apple roses with caramel glaze.
  • When the basket cools down, pour in the Whipping cream and cover the center with one reserved rose.
  • Also brush the center rose with a glaze. Garnish the roses with the powdered sugar.
  • Apple Roses basket is ready. Place it in the fridge and serve chilled either with more whipping cream or ice cream or as it is.
