  2. Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a damp towel and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Prepare the filling by mixing chopped apples, sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl.
  4. Roll out chilled dough into a rectangle. Spoon apple filling down the center, fold the sides over, and pinch to seal.
