Biscuiti cu mere uscate / Dried apple cookies

A trecut deja 1 luna de acomodare in casuta noua si „viata la tara”, which is kinda hard la inceput, comparativ cu cea de la bloc, unde faci 2 pasi si esti in capatul celalalt al apartamentului; la casa te fatzai toata ziua sus-jos, jos-sus, in curte, inauntru & so many things to do in casa noua + curte de amenajat, but so worth it! :) Am revenit cu o reteta noua perfecta pentru pitici: biscuiti cu mere uscate. Am adaptat reteta lui Jamie, fara zahar insa, merele deshidratate ofera o dulceata naturala perfecta acestor biscuiti. Au iesit suuper fragezi si gustosi, iar mie si Ilincai ne-au placut la nebunie! :)

Ingrediente (20 buc):

• 100g mere uscate*
• 100g unt
• 200g faina
• 1 lg sirop de curmale* (optional)
• 1 ou
• 1/2 lgt praf de copt bio
• 1/2 lgt scortisoara

Maruntim biiine de tot mere uscate in robotul de bucatarie (mirose divin amestecul!), apoi pur si simplu amestecam toate ingredientele, pana obtinem un aluat omogen. Modelam 20 de bilute din acest aluat, le aplatizam usor si le punem pe o tava tapetata cu hartie de copt.

Eu am tinut tava in frigder cam 15 min din motive tehnice (Ilincai i se facuse somn si m-am dus sa o culc, insa a prins bine, biscuitii au iesit fragezi inauntru :) Ii coacem cam 12 de min in cuptorul preincalzit la 180C, pana se rumenesc frumos pe margini. Ii lasam sa se raceasca in tava, apoi ii servim. Pofta mare!

*Reteta preluata si adaptata de la Jamie. Siropul de curmale e chiar optional, ies suficient de dulci si fara ;) Gasiti mere uscate la Mega Image, Poame se numesc, foarte bune si fara vreun ingredient dubios, doar felii de mere deshidratate. Le puteti face si singuri, daca aveti timp si chef.

ENGLISH VERSION 

It’s been a month since moving to our new house and adapting to „life in the countryside”, which is kinda hard compared to staying in a flat, where everything is just 2 steps away; when you live in a house, you just keep moving all day long, upstairs, downstairs, outside etc. I am back now with a new super delicious recipe, perfect for kids: dried apple cookies, adapted from Jamie’s recipe, but without the sugar, the dried apples give dough enough natural sweetness. Ilinca and I loved these cookies, so tender and tasty! :)

Ingredients (20 pcs):

• 100 g dried apples
• 100 g butter
• 200 g plain flour
• 1 tbsp date syrup* (optional)
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Finely grind the apples in the food processor, then just simply mix well all the ingredients until a ball of dough forms. Mold 20 balls and flatten them with your hands, then place them on a tray lined with baking paper.

I held the tray in the fridge for 15 min for technical reasons (Ilinca wanted to go to sleep, but keeping the cookies in the fridge made them very tender :) Bake the cookies for 12 min at 180 C, until they turn a little brownish on the edges. Let them cool on the tray, then serve them. Enjoy!
