Start by making the filling. Peel the apples and grate them into a pan.
Cook the apples and sugar until caramelized. Finally, add the walnuts and sugar and cook for 1-2 more minutes. Leave it to cool.
For the dough, add all the ingredients to a bowl and knead. Let it rest for 30 minutes, wrapped in cling film.
Roll out the rested dough with the help of a rolling pin.
Shape the dough by pressing round molds on the dough. If you wish, you can cut it into triangles and roll it up.
Add filling to the dough and close it in the shape of a half-moon. Bake in a preheated 180-degree oven for 20–25 minutes.
Serve it sprinkled with powdered sugar. Bon appetit!

Serving Suggestions

If you are open to experimenting, serve it with cream or cheddar cheese, as apple cakes and pies are served in many parts of the world. Or serve it classically with tea or coffee.

Expert Tips

To get the consistency of the cookie dough, make sure that the milk or yogurt you will use is cold. In this way, you can get a denser consistency.
The other ingredients in the recipe should be at room temperature.
To ensure that your cookies bake evenly, be careful not to roll out the dough thickly.
Before shaping the cookie dough, stretch the dough and let it rest in the refrigerator. Then knead it once more and start shaping it.
If you are going to use powdered sugar when serving, you can reduce the amount of sugar added to the mixture to prevent it from being too sweet.
For an aromatic taste, you can add four teaspoons of apple juice. You can also add flour to get the consistency right.
You can use the rim of a glass or a fork to give your apple cookies different shapes.
You can get more elegant presentations by using ingredients such as nuts, hazelnuts, and pistachios.
You can prepare smaller portions.
