I found the recipe for these cookies in this amazing blog. Whatever I
have baked from there was always a success. These cookies are like small apple
pies and smell and taste amazing!! So, here is the recipe.
Apple Filled Cookies
Apple Filled Cookies
Filling:
1 small apple, finely diced
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon lemon juice
ground cinnamon, to taste (I put one teaspoon)
Dough:
80g cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
150g all purpose flour
pinch of salt
1 large egg yolk
iced water
1 egg white, for brushing
For sprinkling:
caster sugar and ground cinnamon
Start by making the filling: mix all the ingredients in a heatproof bowl, cover loosely with plastic wrap and take to the microwave oven (500W) for 3 minutes. Remove from oven, stir and set aside to cool.
Now, the dough: sift flour and salt and place in a food processor, along with the butter – I used my Kitchen Aid with the paddle attachment for it. Pulse a few times until mixture resembles fine meal. Add the egg yolk and a little water. Pulse again and add water until dough comes together. Transfer dough to a large piece of plastic wrap and press it to form a 1cm-thick disc. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF; line a large baking sheet with baking paper.
In a lightly floured surface, roll dough until 3mm-thick. Cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters. Place a bit of filling in the middle of dough, brush edges with egg white and top with another dough shape, closing the edges so the filling won’t leek. Transfer cookies to prepared pan.
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until lightly golden on the edges .
Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool completely.
Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll each cookie in cinnamon sugar.
I used a 5 cm round cookie cutter and I got 15.
