How to prepare Cookies with apple filling
Let’s start preparing the Cookies with apple filling, pour the raisins into a bowl with warm water and let them soak. Prepare the shortcrust pastry, pour the flour and powdered sugar into a bowl, mix, and add the butter cut into small pieces cold from the refrigerator, work with your hands until you get a sandy mixture.
Add the egg and knead first with a fork and then with your hands until you get a smooth and shiny compact dough. Transfer the shortcrust pastry between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out with a rolling pin, let rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, while the pastry is resting in the refrigerator, peel the apples, remove the central core, and cut them into small pieces, pour them into a bowl, add the well-squeezed raisins and jam, and mix everything.
Take back the shortcrust pastry, place the filling in the center lengthwise, close the roll and cut it into slices about 3/4 inch thick.
Bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for 30 minutes, when baked, take it out and let it cool completely before removing it from the pan so that the shortcrust pastry is dry and crumbly.
