Sweet Apple Treats with cinnamon and raisins

These apple treats are sweet and crunchy enriched with  cinna mon  and raisins. I have to say that we all took a piece after another piece until all treats were gone in less than a day. I’m actually surprised they even lasted that long.

I simply love everything that is made with apples. Every combination with apples is always welcomed in our home; this is one of my favorites. Today I’ll show you how to prepare dessert with ready dough crusts. This apple treats are low in calories because only little sugar is needed or if you want you can avoid the sugar completely.

Ingredients:

• 320 g dough crusts
• 700 g apples
• 150 g raisins
• 150-200 ml cooking oil
• Juice of one lemon
• Little sugar
• Little cinnamon

Method of preparation

1. Filling: Pell the apples and cut them into thin slices. Apples should be cut into thin slices because in this form they do not release too much juice which makes the treats to be dry and crunchy. Sprinkle the slices with lemon juice to keep them from changing their color; add little cinna mon and stir well these ingredients together.
2. For one treat you’ll need half thin crust. Cut all the crusts at once in half (starting from the longer side) and arrange them one over another in order to keep their moisture.
3. Take one crust, coat it with butter using brush and flip it in half. Coat the upper crust with oil. In the middle put one full tablespoon apples, over the apples add little raisins, ½ teaspoon sugar and ½ teaspoon bread crumbs. Huddle the lower part over the filling, over the lower part huddle the upper part; flip the left and right part under the treat. Repeat the same procedure for the rest of the crusts. The amount of ingredients is enough for 30 yields.
4. Arrange the treats in baking pan covered with paper; coat them with oil and sprinkle little water. Preheat oven to 220°C and bake for about 10-15 minutes or until browned. Take treats out of oven and leave them on rack to cool. Before serving dust the treats with powdered sugar.
5. When I first took them out of the oven, all I wanted was to look at these beautifully looking treats with a shiny crust. They looked so delicious and too pretty to be eaten. I was under the spell of their magical apple and cinnamon aroma that took over my house.  I wish I could find a way to bottle this aroma and let some out from time to time.
