• 250 grams cold butter,
• 2-3 tablespoons icing sugar,
• 2 medium apples,
• a pinch of cinnamon,
• a pinch of salt.

Preparation:

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.
