• Ingredients:
  • 250g all-purpose flour
  • 125g water
  • 25g sugar or erythritol
  • 25g vegetable oil
  • Juice and zest of half a lemon
  • 1 apple, thinly sliced
  • Cinnamon, to taste
  • 8g baking powder
• Instructions:
  1. In a bowl, toss the thinly sliced apple with lemon juice, a tablespoon of sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside to marinate.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, water, remaining sugar, vegetable oil, lemon zest, and baking powder until it forms a smooth dough.
  3. Divide the dough into eight equal parts. Roll each part into a ball, then flatten with a rolling pin on a floured surface into small circles.
  4. Place some of the apple mixture on half of the circles. Cover each with another dough circle, pinching the edges to seal.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat. Place the focaccine in the skillet, cover, and cook for 5-10 minutes on each side until golden brown.
