Ingredients:

                          
• 250 grams plain flour,
• 250 grams full-fat cottage cheese,
• 250 grams cold butter,
• 2-3 tablespoons icing sugar,
• 2 medium apples,
• a pinch of cinnamon,
• a pinch of salt.

Preparation:

1. Prepare the dough: Cut the cold butter into cubes and add to the sifted flour with salt. Quickly knead the dough, adding the cottage cheese and icing sugar. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the apples: Peel and core the apples, then slice them thinly. Sprinkle with a little cinnamon.
3. Form the biscuits: Roll out the chilled dough to about 5 millimetres thick. Cut out circles, place apple slices on half of them, and seal the edges.
4. Baking: Preheat the oven to 175°C. Bake the biscuits for about 20-25 minutes until they are golden brown.

Tips:

• Cottage cheese: It's best to use ground cottage cheese for a more delicate dough.
• Apples: Choose sweet and juicy varieties like Swiss or Ligol.
• Sugar: You can adjust the amount of sugar to your preference. If you like sweeter biscuits, add more icing sugar.
• Spices: In addition to cinnamon, you can add other spices to the dough, such as nutmeg, cardamom, or ginger.
