    Looks great! My apple pies look very different so I had to read the title carefully. Would love to try these

    no inside shot? and idk, I think it would be weirder to use sesame on an apple pie. poppy seeds are often used in sweet contexts

    RECIPE!
    for the dough:
    milk 250 ml
    butter 75 g
    vegetable oil 35 ml
    egg 1 (small, helps structure)
    flour 450–500 g (enough to form a soft but not sticky dough)
    dry yeast 8 g (or fresh 25 g)
    sugar 50 g (feeds yeast + slight sweetness)
    salt 1/2 tsp (balances flavor)

    for the filling:
    apples 300 g (main base)
    sugar 2 tbsp (sweetens the apples)
    rum 1 tbsp (adds aroma)
    cornstarch 1 tsp (thickens juices so it doesn’t leak)
    vanillin a pinch (flavor boost)
    cinnamon optional (warm taste)

    for brushing:
    egg yolk 1 (for a golden crust)
    here’s how I made them, short version:

    warmed the milk to about 30-35°C, dissolved the yeast in it and let it sit

    in another bowl mixed egg, sugar and salt, then added it to the yeast mix and let it rest for a few minutes

    gradually added sifted flour, mixing each time, then poured in melted butter + vegetable oil and kneaded a soft slightly sticky dough

    left the dough to rise for about 1 hour in a warm place

    for the filling, chopped apples, mixed with sugar, microwaved them for a few minutes to soften, then added cornstarch, vanilla and rum, and let it cool

    after the dough rose, divided it into equal pieces, shaped balls, rolled them out, added about a spoon of filling and sealed them well, placing seam side down

    let them proof again for 20/30 minutes, then brushed with egg yolk + a bit of water and baked at 190°C for about 17-20 minutes until golden

    “good luck to anyone who tries making this” – my dad

    What country are you from? Curious about your style of apple pie. Looks delicious!

    Maybe he wanted to make steak pockets and then randomly decided to try apple

    If there was one with a savory filling I’d gobble it up.
