Turkish Apple Filled Cookies By Aysenur Altan

These apple filled cookies are one of my favorite cookies of all. It is a traditional Turkish cookie kind in modern Turkish Kitchen. But the dough recipes and shapes may vary. This special dough with butter, yogurt and baking soda mixed with lemon juice is really makes a difference in making the most beautiful flaky cookie dough for your apple fillings. With the same dough you can make apple lattice pie or little tartlets too. I showed the both method for you. I hope you try as soon as you can and like it. Please let me know with comments and likes
