Ingredients
  

For the pastry

  • 80 ml Orange juice Pineapple juice also works
  • 80 ml Sunflower oil or any other unflavoured oil
  • 250 g Plain flour
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 tbsp Sugar
  • a pinch Salt
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

For the filling

  • 2 large Apples
  • 70 g Sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon Add more for stronger flavour

Instructions
 

To make the pastry

  • In a mixing bowl, mix the orange juice, oil and vanilla extract together. Add in the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and mix to combine well until it forms a ball of dough. Cover and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

To make the filling

  • While the dough is resting, make the filling. Put the grated apple with sugar and cinnamon in a sauce pan and place on a cooker on a low-medium heat.
  • Mix the filling mixture often while cooking for 10-15 minutes. *Allow it to cool completely.

To make the cookies

  • Divide and roll the rested dough into a few balls. I made 14 balls but this depends on what size of cookies you would like to make.
  • Roll one of the dough balls on the table with a rolling pin (I used my palm) into a circular shape.
  • Put about one tea spoon of the filling in the middle and stick all around the edge together to seal. Repeat the steps to make the rest.
  • Place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper with the sealed sided facing up and bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven (176°C, gas mark 4). until slightly golden.
  • After they cool down, dust with some icing sugar (optional).

Notes

*Please make sure you cool down the filling completely. Putting warm filling would give you a soggy pastry mess!
