  • Step 3/4

    Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly flour a work surface, unwrap dough, and dust with flour to prevent sticking. Roll out dough (approx. 0.5-cm/0.2-in. thick), and cut out circles using a cookie cutter or a knife. Divide apple filling between half of the dough circles, place the remaining circles on top, and press around the edges with a fork to seal. Transfer to prepared baking sheet.
