- Roll out dough with pasta machine to the next to thinnest level.
- Cut into strips about 1 to 1-1/2 inches wide and about six or seven inches long.
- Pinch one end of the strip and then pinch about 3/4 inch all along the strip, making little pockets.
- Bring the dough into a circular shape by crimping it together along the strip. Use water to crimp if necessary.
- Fry in hot oil until golden brown. When done remove from oil and place on paper towel to drain.
- Before serving, top with warmed up vino cotto (not hot). If desired, top with chopped walnuts and/or a dash of cinnamon.
The almond crust and added vino cotto bring a new texture and flavor to apple tarts.
