1. 1

   Finely chop the apricots for the filling. Mix sultanas, apricots, cranberries, apple juice and 20 g soft butter. Season with Spekulatius spice and let it stand for at least 1 hour. Stir in between

   For the dough, sift flour, baking powder and icing sugar into a bowl. Cut 150 g butter into cubes, add to the flour and knead until the dough is finely crumbly. Separate the egg. Add egg yolk and 3 tbsp. cold water to the flour and knead to a smooth dough. Chill for about 15 minutes and rest

3. 3

   Roll out the dough on a floured work surface to a thickness of about 3 mm. Cut out Christmas trees with a cookie cutter (approx. 10 cm long). Knead the remaining dough and repeat the process until the dough is used up

   Whisk the egg white and 2 tablespoons of water. Spread half of the Christmas trees with it thinly. Place the ends of the ice-stick on the coated trees and press down gently. Spread the dried fruit mixture in the middle of the prepared trees. Place the remaining trees on top and press down lightly. Spread a thin layer of the remaining egg white on the trees and sprinkle with a little sugar
