In the meantime, let's prepare the filling. Wash the apples, peel them and remove the cores, then cut into small pieces. Place the sliced apples in a saucepan and pour apple juice over them. Add spices and simmer over low heat, covered, for 10 minutes. Then add sugar and simmer for another 5 minutes. Add starch and lemon juice. Mix everything well. The filling will be ready.
