ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and diced
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
steps
- 1.
In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the cold butter and mix until the mixture resembles bread crumbs.
- 2.
Stir in the sour cream until the dough comes together. Knead the dough lightly on a floured surface until smooth. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- 3.
In a skillet, melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Cook until the apples are caramelized and tender, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat.
- 4.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it's about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out circles using a cookie cutter or a glass.
- 5.
Spoon about a teaspoon of caramel sauce onto each dough circle, then top with a heaping tablespoon of the caramelized apple mixture.
- 6.
Fold the dough in half, sealing the edges by pressing firmly with a fork. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
- 7.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully drop the pierogi into the boiling water and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a serving plate.
- 8.
Drizzle the pierogi with extra caramel sauce and dust with powdered sugar. Serve warm and enjoy the sweet indulgence!
