Combine the following ingredients: butter, flour and powdered sugar. Mix the mixture with a mixer, adding water in small quantities until the mass turns into a smooth dough.

Preheat the oven to a temperature of 210 degrees. Cover the baking dish with parchment and put the dough on it, gently spreading it over the entire surface. In this form, send to bake for about 7 minutes.

In the meantime, prepare the filling. Grind apples with a coarse grater, then combine with lemon juice. Mix thoroughly. If you use sour apples to make a cake, then you can add a tablespoon of sugar to the filling.
