Biscotti cuor di mela - Cookies with apple filling
The cookies with apple filling are shortcrust pastry biscuits that contain an apple filling inside.
Ingredients
FOR THE SHORTBREAD:
- 250 g flour
- 1 egg
- 100 g sugar
- 100 g butter
- 6 g baking powder
FOR THE APPLE FILLING:
- 2 apples
- 50 g orange marmalade
- 30 g butter
Instructions
- With the electric whisk, whip the sugar with the soft butter until you get a nice puffy and frothy mixture.
- Add the egg and mix it with the butter, then add gradually the flour sifted with the baking powder. Knead until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it with cling film and let it rest for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Meanwhile, peel the apples and core them. Then cut them into cubes and put them in a pan with the butter and orange marmalade. Cook over low heat for 15 minutes.
- Take the dough and roll it out to a thickness of 2-3 mm. Cut many discs with a diameter of about 5 cm using a pastry cutter or a glass.
- Take a disc of dough and place a small spoonful of apple filling in the center, then close it by overlapping another disc and sealing the edges well with your fingers. Wet the ends with a bit of water to make the edges adhere better if needed.
- Arrange the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 180°C for about 15 minutes.
