Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups (380g) flour
  • 2 sticks (200g) butter , cut in small cubes
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) milk
  • 10 g fresh yeast (1 1/4 tsp active dry yeast)
  • 3 tbsp sugar

Filling

  • 2 pounds (1kg) apples
  • 1 tbsp semolina flour
  • 4 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Dissolve the fresh yeast in the milk. In a medium sized bowl mix well the butter with flour and sugar.
  • Add the eggs and the milk with yeast and mix until well blended. Knead well, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour to let the yeast develop. 

Prepare the apple filling.

  • Peel and grate the apples. Press the grated apples with your hands to remove the juice and put the pressed apples in a large bowl. Stir in semolina flour and cinnamon. Add sugar just before starting to roll the dough. 
  • Preheat the oven to 180 (350F).
  • Cut the dough into 3 equal pieces. Sprinkle flour on the working surface. Using a rolling pin roll out each piece into a rectangular about 12 inches (30 cm) long, 10 high. Cut in 12 about 4 inches (10 cm) squares. 
  • Add spoons of apple mixture in the center of each square. Bring up 2 opposite sides of the dough to cover and bring the other 2 together, spin and cover the apple mixture. Place them in a greased baking tray. 
  • Bake for about 20 minutes or until nicely browned. When cooled enough sprinkle powdered sugar on top of each. Enjoy!
