Apple Cinnamon Cookies

Start by peeling and grating the apples. Transfer to a skillet, add sugar and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat until the liquid evaporates and the apples soften, then let cool.

For the dough, combine all ingredients in a bowl, gradually add flour, and knead until you have a soft, smooth dough that doesn't stick to your hands.

Pinch off small pieces of dough about the size of a walnut and gently flatten them with your palm.

Place about a teaspoon of apple filling on one edge of the dough. Make a few small cuts with a knife on the opposite edge.

Fold the dough over the filling, press to seal, and shape into a crescent. Transfer to a baking sheet.

Bake at 350°F until golden, about 30 minutes. If your oven browns too quickly, reduce the temperature to 320–340°F.
