Ingredients
300 g all-purpose flour
60 g granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
220 g unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
110 ml water
800 g apples, peeled and cut into very small cubes
60 g unsalted butter
150 g brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp water
1 egg
1 tbsp water
4 tbsp brown sugar
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add cold butter cubes and rub into the mixture until crumbly.
- Pour in water and gently knead until dough forms. Wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Prepare filling by cooking apples, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, salt, and water in a pot over medium heat. Stir until apples soften and mixture thickens. Cool completely, then chill.
- Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Roll dough to about 2 mm thickness and cut circles (9–10 cm diameter).
- Place about 2 tablespoons of filling on half the circles. Cover with remaining circles, seal edges with a fork.
- Trim edges if needed, cut small slits on top, brush with beaten egg mixed with water, and sprinkle brown sugar.
- Bake for 20–30 minutes until golden brown. Cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Add a pinch of nutmeg for extra spice.
Mix apples with pears for a softer, sweeter filling.
Drizzle with powdered sugar glaze for added sweetness.
Store at room temperature for 1 day or refrigerate up to 4 days.
Reheat in oven at 160°C / 320°F until warm and crisp.
