500 g wholemeal flour
500 g white flour

Tufahija

3-4 apples (yellow peel, acidic tasting)
100 g. ground walnuts
200 g. sugar
cream

Put the sugar in a pot, large enough to put the apples in. Pour in as much water as you need to cover the apples. Whilst the sugared water boils, peel the apples & core each one, so that the stem and kernel is removed. When the sugar water syrup is ready, cook the apples in it for 15 minutes (approximate time). When the apples start to make foam, they are cooked. They should not fall into pieces - it's even better if they stay firm. Then take apples out and mix the ground walnuts with the syrup. Fill each apple with it and decorate with the cream. Serve them cold. Bon appetit!
