Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Mix the egg, the milk, the salt and 70 g of sugar. Add the flour and the yeast.

    Knead for 10 minutes and add 75 g of butter. Carry on kneading for 10 minutes.

    Put the dough in a bowl, cover it with a cloth and leave it to rise somewhere warm (for me, in the oven on the defrost setting at 25°C) for 2 hrs.

    Meanwhile, peel the apples, cut them into dice and brown them in the remaining 25 g of butter and the 30 g of sugar.

    Cook them covered for about 10 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Knock back the dough.

    Put it on a baking sheet (silicone or other, so you don’t have to handle it afterwards… I say that because I didn’t think of it and had a bit of a struggle later… and it suffered a little too!).

    Roll it out into a rectangle and place the apples in the centre.

    Cut strips with scissors as in the photo.
