In der Zwischenzeit die Füllung vorbereiten. Rosinen in Wasser einweichen. Äpfel sehr fein schneiden oder raspeln und in der Pfanne mit etwas Butter, braunem Zucker und Zimt 7-8 Min. dünsten. Mandeln mahlen und mit den Rosinen in die Pfanne geben. Teig 3 mm dick auswellen und mit einer Ausstechform oder einem Glas Kreise von ca. 8 cm Durchmesser ausstechen. Die Hälfte der Kreise bildet den Boden. Einen Teelöffel von der Füllung auf jeden Teigkreis geben.

Einen weiteren Kreis als Deckel darauf legen. Die Ränder mit einer Gabel andrücken und so verschließen. Die Kekse auf ein mit Backpapier ausgelegtes Backblech legen und bei 180°C 15-20 Min. backen.
