In a bowl, mix the chestnut flour and sugar.

Add 2 eggs and sunflower oil, and mix until you get a compact dough.

If the dough does not compact enough, add a third egg.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes.

Wash, peel, and cut the apples into cubes.

Season the apples with granulated sugar and the sifted lemon juice.

Take the dough and roll it out on the work surface without flour, to a thickness of 3/4 mm.

Use a pastry cutter to obtain the desired shape.

Place apple filling in the center, cover with a second sheet of dough, and fix the edges.

Place the filled biscuits on a baking tray covered with parchment paper.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 20 to 25 minutes.

Once cooked and cooled, sprinkle the surface with icing sugar.
