grater.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In a pan, heat butter and add the grated apples.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cook the apples over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 5-10 minutes until the excess liquid evaporates and the filling becomes thick.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add sugar and cinnamon, if desired, for sweetness and flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transfer the filling to a bowl and allow it to cool completely.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make the dough:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In a bowl, mix the egg, sugar, and sour cream until well combined.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and vanilla.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add cold butter to the flour mixture and rub it with your hands until it forms crumbs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the egg-sour cream mixture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gently mix with a spatula and then knead the dough with your hands until it comes together.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cover the dough and refrigerate for 15 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Assemble the cookies:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Preheat the oven to 180\u00b0C (350\u00b0F).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Roll out the

press the dough circles into the tins, forming small baskets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fill each basket with the apple filling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sprinkle chopped walnuts on top of each cookie.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bake:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the dough is golden and the filling is
