Step 2

Sand baskets with apples

Add the egg and softened butter to the flour. Knead a homogeneous shortbread dough. Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Step 3

Wash the apples, peel and core and grate on a fine grater. Add icing sugar, lemon juice and chopped almonds to grated apples.

Step 4

Roll out the dough into a layer 6 mm thick and cut out 8 circles and put them in molds. Fill the baskets with stuffing, roll out the remaining dough into a layer 3 mm thick and also cut out 8 circles. Moisten the edges of the baskets and circles with cold water, cover the baskets with circles and press together.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 180'C and bake the baskets for 20-30 minutes at a medium level. While the finished baskets are hot, separate them from the walls of the molds with a knife and leave to cool. Sprinkle finished baskets with powdered sugar and lemon zest.

Yes, you can use coconut oil or a plant-based butter substitute in equal amounts for a dairy-free version. Ensure it's softened for the right dough consistency.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. They’re best enjoyed within 1-2 days for optimal texture.
Absolutely! Swap the regular flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend and ensure your baking powder is gluten-free. The texture may vary slightly.
Use tart, firm apples like Granny Smith for a balanced flavor, or sweeter varieties like Honeycrisp for a milder taste. Avoid overly juicy apples.
Yes! Freeze unbaked dough or baked baskets in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature and reheat baked ones briefly in the oven.
Adjust the size of your dough circles and molds, but baking time may vary. Smaller baskets may take 15-20 minutes, while larger ones could need 25-35 minutes.
Try them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Drizzling caramel sauce adds extra indulgence.
Yes, simply leave out the almonds or replace them with seeds like sunflower seeds for crunch.
