Apple Roses
Using a sharp paring knife, slice the apple halves lengthwise to 1/8-inch thick pieces.
In a large microwaveable bowl, add apple slices and lemon juice, mixing well.
In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and melted butter together. Then add to the apple slices, stirring to coat.
Microwave for about 2 minutes or until the apple slices are pliable. Strain out any accumulated liquid.
Arrange about 5-6 apple slices in a straight row with an inch of overlap on each. Starting with one end, gently roll the slices together to make a rose.
Repeat previous step to make 10-11 more roses.
Brownies
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking oil, and set aside.
Fill each muffin tin 1/3 full if using brownie mix, or 2/3 full if using home made batter.
Place one apple rose in the middle of each brownie until it is half immersed.
Bake for 15 minutes or until brownies are cooked through.
Remove from oven and dust with optional powdered sugar. Serve and enjoy!
