Apple Kiffles

"Each fall my mom made this apple kiffle recipe as a special treat for us! Using freshly picked and peeled apples, this recipe uses homemade applesauce as the filling. This recipe uses fresh apples cooked into homemade applesauce. I like to use honeycrisp apples, but any good pie apple will do. The crust for these kiffles uses cottage cheese and butter to make them oh-so-flaky and yummy!! By cutting in the flour, it’s a snap to whip this crust together!"
