The filling
- Peel, core and chop the apples.
- Toss them in sugar and cornflour.
- Combine with the lemon and cook until the cornflour thickens.
- Stretch the rested dough on an oiled surface with your hands, like a pizza but using oil. It must be translucent, almost paper thin. Cut rectangles about 10cm by 15 cm.
- Spread the filling like you would on a sushi roll and roll making sure the seam is at the bottom and the sides pinched close. Bake in preheated to 180 oven for about 20 minutes.

- Remove from heat.
