Then knead the dough again and leave it for an hour under the foil. At this time, peel the apples from the peel and seed pods. Cut the apples into small pieces.
Put the apples in a pan with butter and sugar. Pour the zest and lemon juice into the apple mixture.
Leave the apples to cook in the pan for 3-4 minutes until the moisture has evaporated.
Do not stew the apples.
Leave the apples on a flat plate to cool. At this time, divide the dough into 200-250 gram
rolls
, leave for 10-15 minutes under a towel
. Roll out each roll into a layer with a diameter of 30 cm. Divide the layers into elongated triangles, put the stuffing on the thickest part. Wrap the filling in the dough and place on a parchment-lined baking tray.
