Preparation

For the spice star with walnut and Fuji apple filling preheat the oven to 200 ° (ventilated oven). Finely chop walnuts and hazelnuts in the mixer and mix with orange marmalade. Add cinnamon, cardamom, ginger powder and finally nutmeg. Roll out the first roll of puff pastry on a sheet of baking paper. Spread the walnut and jam mixture over the entire surface, leaving 1 cm free along the entire edge.
Wash and peel the apples, remove the core and cut them into cubes. Distribute the apple cubes on the walnut filling and cover with the second roll of puff pastry, pressing well along the edges to seal. Place a glass or small bowl in the center of the dough. Divide the dough into 16 wedges, as you would do with a cake, starting from the edge of the glass.
Then take two adjacent wedges, turn each one outwards twice and join the two ends to form a sort of tip, pressing well so that they stay together. Proceed in the same way with all the other wedges.

Brush the star with the beaten egg. Then mix sugar with cinnamon and distribute in the center of the star. Sprinkle the remaining star with plenty of powdered sugar. Bake at 200 degrees for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow your spice star with apples to cool. If you want, you can also taste and enjoy it hot.

The apple history begins in the Garden of Eden. And since then it has not lost any of its appeal.
