At the end of summer, many people have an abundant harvest of apples in their gardens and orchards. This useful fruit is perfect for making jams and compotes. However, often there are too many apples, so it becomes more difficult to get rid of them.
Often housewives from home apples bake apple pies
.
But, and this type of baking sooner or later bores the housewives. How then to serve apples to the table in an original way, so as not to throw away the harvest?
You can prepare instead of pies – apple cookies. For example, “apple stacks” – a quick sweet dessert for tea.
Ingredients of the filling for “apple stacks”:
- apples – 7 pcs;
- butter – 50 g;
Ingredients for the dough:
- egg – pcs;
- sour cream – 50 g;
- sugar – 70 g;
- butter – 120 g;
- flour – 320 g;
- leavening agent – 1 tsp;
- salt – a pinch;
- vanillin – a pinch.
Cooking cookies “apple stacks”:
Clean the apples washed in advance, get rid of the seed pods and rub them on large grater cutters. In a skillet melt butter, put the apple mixture.
In the skillet on medium heat stew apples for about 5 minutes. Pour sugar and cinnamon to taste, stir and continue to stew for 7-10 minutes until the liquid evaporates.
At this time in a separate bowl mix egg, sour cream and sugar – this is the basis for the dough
.
In a second bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and vanillin
. Pour cold butter pieces into the loose ingredients and quickly rub into crumbs with your hands. Pour the egg mixture into the crumbs and knead the
dough. If the dough sticks to your hands – add a little flour, and if it falls apart – pour a little water into the dough.
Separate ⅓ of the dough from the dough, pack it in a cellophane bag and put it in the freezer
.
Put the rest of the dough in cellophane in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
Then roll out the dough into a 5 mm thick layer and cut out circles with a circle or a special mold. Cover the baking tray with parchment, lay the circles of dough on the surface. Put
the apple filling on the surface of the dough.
Grate ⅓ of the dough directly onto the apple filling.
Bake the cookies in the oven at 180 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
If desired, after cooking the cookies can be sprinkled with powdered sugar. You get a budget homemade cookies from apples.
