Description

Flaky buttery dough is wrapped around the cinnamon-covered apple slices. The top of the cookie is dipped in egg whites and then into crystal sugar that makes them sweet and crunchy on the outside. Inside there is that chunk of cinnamony baked apple that makes this cookie absolutely delicious!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE APPLES:
  • 4 whole Medium Apples, Peeled, Cored And Cut Into Thick Slices, About 6 Slices Per Apple
  • 2 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
  • _____
  • FOR THE DOUGH:
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 2 Tablespoons Sugar
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 6 ounces, weight Butter, Cold Cut Into Half-inch Cubes
  • 8 ounces, weight Farmer's Cheese, Cold
  • 2 Tablespoons Sour Cream
  • _____
  • FOR COATING THE COOKIES:
  • 1 whole Egg White Lightly Beaten
  • ⅓ cups Sugar

Preparation

First prepare the apples. In a medium bowl mix the apple slices, sugar and some cinnamon, enough to cover the apples. Set aside while you prepare the dough.

Preheat the oven to 200ºC (about 400ºF). Line a baking sheet with Silpat or parchment.

To prepare the dough, in a food processor pulse flour, sugar and salt to combine. Add cubed butter, cheese and sour cream and pulse until all ingredients come together and form a ball.

Take the dough out of the food processor and place it onto a floured surface. If it looks like it is too sticky to roll with the rolling pin, add a small amount of flour and knead with your hands until it looks like it can be rolled with the rolling pin.

When the dough is ready, cut about a quarter of the dough and roll it into a long narrow rectangle. Then cut it into long strips about 2 cm wide. Take one strip and wrap it around the apple slices in an overlapping manner, covering all of the apple slice with the strip. If the strip is too short, add a piece of another strip. Pinch the ends of the cookie so that there are no holes.

Dip one side of the cookie into the egg white, then into the sugar, and place it on the baking sheet, sugary side facing up. Continue with the rest of the cookies. Bake until the cookies are deep golden brown, about 25 minutes. Don’t try to eat them straight from the oven; let them cool a bit before serving because the apple inside will be very, very hot.

Farmer’s cheese is quite sturdy and dry, it is usually sold in rectangular stick-like packages (at least “Friendship” brand is) and has a consistency that is very similar to ricotta, just farmer’s cheese is much firmer and drier than ricotta; for these cookies I would not recommend substituting farmer’s cheese with cottage cheese; the only possible substitution might be ricotta, but I’ve never tried it myself.

hi, JGIPSON, sory for all the confusion – I see what’s happening now: I get “29.6 milliliters of sugar” if I switch to “all metric”; this is my first time submitting a recipe to Tasty Kitchen, so it’s a lot of things to learn…; I’ll be editing this recipe right now; thanks very much for the comment!

just a little confused because your recipe is in both metric and u.s. serving sizes.
