English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 1858 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Make dough using one of the preceding pastry recipes and cut into rounds.
Peel one and a half pounds apples, rubbing with lemon to prevent browning, core and shred finely.
Put in a saucepan with half a glass sugar and a spoonful water, stirring on the stove until tender without burning.
Mash, add just three crushed cardamom seeds, mix and cool.
Fill the vatrushki, crimp their edges attractively and bake.
