6. Place the dough on a surface sprinkled with flour and knead it. Make eight equal balls and roll each into a cake. Place the crumbs on one half of the cake and wrap it. Then, put some more crumbs on top and apple filling on the sides. Twist the dough from the two sides inward and fix at the base.
7. Lay the cakes in a circle on a baking sheet lined with parchment, cover with cling film, and let sit for half an hour.
8. Mix an egg yolk with two tablespoons of milk and coat the pie. Sprinkle it with crumbs and pop in the oven. Bake for an hour and a half at 360 °F.

I am an English major with a love of languages and fiction, and with an incurable travel bug. In my free time, I read fantasy, drink copious amounts of coffee, and like to go see movies. Culinary art means everything to me. My main hypostasis is the taster, though. The music school has taught me to appreciate the symphony of airy meringues, to create harmonious overtures of light snacks, hard rock of meat, fish, and vegetables on the grill. Choir classes have accustomed me to hear and feel the people nearby and create perfect harmonies of sounds.
