My mouth is watering just looking at these pictures, I hope you feel the same way. You can also make this dough recipe and roll in parchment paper a place in your fridge until you are ready to make your apple flips. The dough will be ok for a couple of days or freeze what you are not going to use.
I will share with you another delicious dessert you may like to try that got apples in it.

Instructions
Method:
- In a medium bowl cream together butter, sugar, vanilla, milk and eggs, continue mixing everything together.
- Sift in flour, baking powder, and sea salt into mixture continue mixing until all combined.
- When the dough becomes to hard to move with the spoon use your hand or kitten aid to form into a ball, then place in the fridge for about fifteen minutes while you are getting your apples ready.
- When ready remove dough from fridge and put on the counter top with a dusting of flour. Roll out with a rolling pin or bottle, place a bowl about 6” round to cut our pastry, cut all of them out first, then on one side put 3 teaspoons of your apple mixture, fold over the other side. SEE METHOD BELOW FOR FILLING!
- Then pinch the ends together with a fork, you will need a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, place apple flips on and spacing them a inch apart, poke fork holes in the top of apple flips, then brush with some melted butter, pre-heated oven to 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes depending on your oven or until golden brown.
- When baked remove from oven serve hot or cold with whipped cream or ice cream, on its own.
Method:
- Peel apples then cut in small pieces, place in bowl.
- Then add all spices, lemon and brown sugar, mix together.
- Then follow the top instructions for making apple flips.
BAKING TIPS:
- Putting pastry in the fridge helps harden the dough and is easier for rolling out.
- If you peel apples in advance put lemon juice over them to stop from going brown.
- You can also dust apple flips with a egg wash to brown the top more.
- If you have leftover pastry wrap in clear wrap and put in the fridge for a week and use daily, also apple filling can go in a tub with lid and keep in fridge to use making more apple flips.

Topped with icing and filled with delicious spices and apples.
Our apple flips got a soft crust and a spicy apple filling, I can remember these apple flips has a child and coming home from school and my mom would have a batch of these delicious Apple Flips coming out of the oven.
The smell of baking or food cooking is the best kind of feeling one can ever experience, and this is what memories are made of.
Anyone that have been follow my website know that I love working with dough of any type.
Cutting out any size of dough is ok but this size makes a prefect apple flip.
