You will have to tinker a little with these cookies, since the caramel apples are delicious in the filling. I did it with simple apples, sprinkling them with brown sugar, but the taste was not the same. For fun, you can try both methods and compare.

How to Make Cookies: Caramel Apple Envelopes
- Cottage cheese - 200 g
- Wheat flour - 200 g

- Apple - 400 g
- Sugar - 80 g
- Lemon juice - 1 tbsp
- Cinnamon - 0.5 tsp
- Salt - 1 pinch (s)
- Powdered sugar - to taste for dusting
Preparation:
To prepare cookies - envelopes with caramel apples, prepare butter 180 + 10 g: 180 g will go into the dough, and 10 g into the filling.
The oil should be soft, at room temperature.
It is better to take fine-grained cottage cheese. I have it with a fat content of 9%.
Sift the wheat flour in advance.
Take hard apples.
Put flour, butter in a bowl and grind everything into crumbs.
Add a pinch of salt, cottage cheese and quickly knead the dough.
While the caramel apples are being prepared, put it in the refrigerator, wrapping it with cling film.
Peel and cut the apples into small cubes, with a side of about 1.5-2 cm.
Sprinkle them with cinnamon, pour over the lemon juice and stir.
If you like cinnamon, then the amount can be increased to taste.
Melt butter in a frying pan, addsugar and on low heat bring it until a slight color change towards caramel.
Add apples and stir for a couple of minutes, until the apples are slightly golden brown due to the caramel.
Turn off the fire.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface, about 3-4 mm thick and cut into squares, about 8 centimeters on a side.
Place a spoonful of caramel apples on the center of each square.
Pinch the edges well, making an envelope.
If the edges are loosely adhered, then during baking they can disperse.
Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about half an hour.
Sprinkle the finished cookies with icing sugar.
Cookies - envelopes with caramel apples are ready!
Enjoy your tea, everyone!
