each other (4+4). Brush the edges with
egg white, overlap the sheets somewhat
and press together. Cut this large sheet
of dough into 4 equal pieces. Wrap each
apple in a piece of the dough and cut off
the edges. Cut leaves and flowers from
the remaining dough for decoration.
Brush the dough with egg yolk, place on
baking paper on the baking sheet and
bake at 180 °C with top and bottom heat
for about 35 minutes.

ESGE hand blender. You may not need
all of the egg. The choux pastry dough is
done when it is very satiny and can eas-
ily be pulled from the blender or spoon.
Cover the baking sheet with baking pa-
per. Preheat the oven to 230 °C (top and
bottom heat) for about 5 minutes. Fill
the dough into a decorating bag. For
cream puffs, make rosettes with a di-
ameter of 4 cm. For éclairs, make three
strips of 4 cm each, two next to each
other and one on top. Insert the baking
sheet at the second level from the bot-
tom and bake the cream puffs or éclairs
at 180°C with top and bottom heat for
about 15-20 minutes. Cut the cream
puffs or éclairs in half while still hot. For
the 1st filling: Bring the milk with the
instant coffee and sugar to a boil and
add the gelatin dissolved in water. After
cooling, fold in the whipped cream and
fill the éclairs with the crème, then dec-
orate with powdered sugar or chocolate
glaze. For the 2nd filling, which is ideal
for cream puffs, first drain and save the
liquid from the sour cherries. Measure
the juice, heat with the sugar and thick-
en with the cake glaze. Add the cherries
to the glaze. After cooling, fill the cream
puffs and decorate with whipped cream.
