4. Cut the apples longitudinally in half. Cut out the middle, trying to capture all the seeds and hard partitions. Chop the apple with a special vegetable shredder as thin as possible. The thinner the plate, the easier it will be to form a rose.
5. Silicone cooking brush, apply to the dough with a thin layer of honey. It is not necessary to lubricate the sides with honey.
6. Visually divide the decomposed dough into two parts. In the middle of each “half” put a “middle” of a rose, formed from a loosely folded apple plate. After that, start forming roses by placing apple plates in the form of petals on the dough around the “middle”. Continue to lay out the apples until you get two enough lush “buds” of apples.
7. So that the buds do not crumble, install a small rosette between them, formed of literally 2-3 plates.

2. Through a sieve on the table or in a wide deep container, sift all the flour. Spoon the slightly-frozen butter into a large grater. To make the oil easier to rub, constantly lower it into the flour. 3. Slightly mix the grated butter with flour. Put the mass in a slide, in the center of which make a hollow with a spoon, into it and pour the ice-cold liquid. Knead the dough very quickly.
4. In order for the dough to exfoliate well, you cannot knead it for a long time with your hands. It is enough to gently lift the dough from all sides to the center, folding it in layers and press each layer firmly with your hands.

10. Cut the layer into five-centimeter strips, not less than 25 cm long. Grease each strip with honey, sprinkle with cinnamon and place dried apple slices on it. Spit the apples with the convex side to the slice, slightly speaking behind it and slightly imposing the next slice on the previous one.
