Instructions

1. Mix the flour, salt, egg, oil and lukewarm water until you get a soft dough. Knead for 5 minutes, then let it rest for 30 minutes under a tea towel.
2. For the sweet filling, peel and grate the apples, then cook them for 5 minutes in a pan with the sugar and cinnamon until tender. Drain them well.
3. For the cheese version, mix the drained fresh cheese with the sugar and a little salt.
4. Divide the dough into 4 balls and roll each one out very thinly, then stretch it by hand on the work surface until it is almost transparent.
5. Brush the dough with melted butter, spread the filling over half of it, then roll it up like a snail or fold it into a triangle.
6. Place the plăcinte on a buttered tray and brush them with beaten egg yolk.
7. Bake at 200 °C for 25 to 30 minutes, until nicely golden.
8. Let them cool for a few minutes before cutting into portions. They are eaten warm or lukewarm.
