Hi, I'm running ESP in AP mode and would like to restrict access to it by filtering the MAC address of the connecting device, but somehow I can't find a sensible example anywhere....

I found something like this. You should find it useful. You can initiate the locking process itself with your own function, in which you will store MAC addresses. The parameter of such a function would be the MAC of the connected device.

Write a SYSTEM_EVENT_AP_STACONNECTED system event handler. This is shown in practically every example: your own event handler is set by esp_event_loop_init. As a parameter for the event handler you get the MAC address of the connected station (there will be something to know by) and its aid, i.e. there will be something to substitute into the esp_wifi_deauth_sta function.

Restricting access to the ESP8266 in Access Point mode via MAC?
