Keep everything cold and move quickly.

30ml was enough water when I made this.

Filling

Ingredients

• 1 apple, cored & diced
• 1/8 t vanilla
• 1/4 t cinnamon

Notes

I added some lemon juice, which I then strained out before filling because I didn’t want soggy pastry. But the end result seemed dry.
