Apple Golatschen or Apple Turnovers

“Gerichte-Geschichte”

1. Golatschen or Kolatschen come from the former Austrian-Bohemian region. Made in Bohemia from yeast dough in a round shape, in Austria they are traditionally made square and made from Danish or puff pastry. The abundance can consist of curd cheese, fruit or jam.

The abundance

1. 1 Grate 1/2 apples finely, roughly chop the rest.
2. Bring the grated apples with the apple juice to the boil.
3. Depending on the desired acidity, add the juice and zest of half a lemon to a lemon, mix in the sugar and cinnamon and let the mixture reduce to the desired consistency for about 10 minutes on a low level. Add the roughly chopped apples for the last 5 minutes. Then let the mixture cool down.

The golf club

1. Roll out the puff pastry, approx. 270 grams, and cut into 8 square pieces of the same size. Brush the edges with egg yolk.
2. Cover the squares evenly with the filling and knock in all 4 corners to make a golf club. For pockets, fold the squares together to form a triangle and press the edges with a fork.
3. Brush with an egg / yolk.
4. Approx. Bake for 5-10 minutes in a preheated oven at 200 degrees.
5. Sprinkle with powdered sugar or powdered sugar and best serve warm.

(Alternative)

1. Instead of grating the apples finely and chopping them roughly for more bite. Use 2-3 tablespoons of white sugar for more sweetness.

tip

1. The apple used determines the taste, so pay attention to the sweetness or sourness of the apple.
