Step 1
Pre-chill all ingredients to prepare the dough. Sift the flour through a sieve onto a cutting board or other work surface.

Pour a glass of sour cream into it, add a pinch of salt and knead the dough thoroughly so that no lumps remain. Roll the finished dough into a ball, place in a food plastic bag or wrap in foil and refrigerate for 30-40 minutes.

Cut a part of the pumpkin into several large pieces, remove the skin from them with a knife, grate the pulp together with peeled apples on a coarse grater. Add softened butter to the filling, add one tablespoon of starch, a teaspoon of cinnamon, grated lemon zest, mix everything well. Transfer the filling to a saucepan or deep frying pan, pour in one tablespoon of hot boiled water and simmer covered over low heat for 10 minutes. Then remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
