Ingredients

apple fill:
2 apples
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 lemon juice

pastry:
250g flour
125g butter
90 g sugar
1tsp salt
1 egg
1 yolk

Peel and dice the apple, put it in a pan with half a glass of water and the lemon juice then cook it on a gentle heat until it is puréed. Add the sugar, stir and let the compote cool down.

Make the pastry by rubbing the butter into the dry ingredients until you have a crumble, then add the egg and the yolk. Quickly form a ball working the dough as little as possible.

Wrap the dough in cling film and put it to rest in the fridge for half an hour or longer, until the fill is well cool.

Roll the pastry to about 3 to 4 mm thick and cut your favourite shapes. 

Take one shape, put a little quantity of apple compote on top, put another shape on top and seal well around the edges.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180C for about 15 minutes. 

Cool them completely before eating.
