Mmm!! This looks so good and it looks like a fun recipe to try with kids!!
To make this a little easier and faster, you could use a refrigerated, premade pie crust.
Start with the pie dough (the recipe can be found by clicking the recipe link at the end of the post). I rolled the dough between two plastic sheets using chopsticks as guides for an even thickness. I put the sheet of dough on a cutting board and placed it in the fridge while working with the apples.
I washed a few apples and cut off a lid from each one. With the help of a small sharp knife and a small spoon I caved the apples forming bowls and set the chopped pulp aside. To avoid the apples from getting dark, I added a few drops of lemon juice.
For each medium apple you will need:
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tbsp all purpose flour
1/4 tsp powdered cinnamon
Mix the ingredients and sprinkle over the reserved apple pulp. Toss with a spoon and fill the apple bowls.
Remove the dough from the fridge and cut flowers with a cookie cutter. make some holes to release vapor while baking.
Carefully place a flower over each apple. Don’t try to mold the dough, it will be firm and will break. The heat of the oven will take care of that 😉
Serve warm or cool, lightly sprinkled with powdered sugar.

Add the egg and mix until it comes together into a ball. If necessary, add a few drops of water. Do not over mix.
