Ingredients

Servings: 30

2 Organic oranges
100 g dried soft apricots
100 g dried dates
100 g dried apple rings
150 g Whole spelt flour
350 g crushed almonds
3 TSP Baking Powder
4 Eggs (Gr. M)
30 Almond kernels (without skin)
baking paper

Directions

1
Wash oranges hot, grate dry, finely grate peel. Halve oranges and squeeze juice. Chop dried fruit finely. Mix the fruit, orange juice and zest in a bowl and marinate for about 4 hours.
2
Finely puree the soaked fruits in the universal chopper and place in a bowl. Mix flour, almonds and baking powder. Separate the eggs. Beat the egg whites with the whisks of the hand mixer until stiff. Stir egg yolks one after the other into the fruit puree. Sieve the flour mixture through a sieve onto the fruit mass and stir in. Carefully fold in the beaten egg whites.
3
Form approx. 30 balls of the same size from the dough, place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper, press them slightly flat and place an almond on each and press them down. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for about 20 minutes. Remove and let cool on a cake rack.
