Ingredients
  

  • One Pie Crust homemade or store-bought, sufficient for half the original recipe
  • Five Granny Smith Apples peeled and finely diced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar firmly packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2/3 cup rolled oats avoid instant oats
  • 10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced

Instructions

  • Begin by preheating the oven to a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Prepare a regular muffin tin by applying baking spray or greasing it. Note that you will need to use this twice, or alternatively, prepare two muffin tins.
  • Proceed to cut out twenty-four circles, each two inches in diameter, from the pie crust dough. Should you have excess dough after the initial cutting, gather the scraps and re-roll them to a thickness of ¼ inch.
  • Place each of the pie crust circles into the wells of the muffin tins.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the diced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook this mixture over medium heat for approximately 5 to 7 minutes, or until the apples have softened and the mixture has thickened.
  • For the crisp topping, take a separate bowl and add the all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, light brown sugar, kosher salt, rolled oats, and diced cold butter. Use a hand mixer or pastry cutter to mix these ingredients until the mixture achieves a crumbly texture.
  • Distribute one tablespoon of the apple filling into each of the pie crust-lined muffin wells.
  • Following this, add two tablespoons of the crumble topping over each filled muffin well.
  • Optional: For a more cohesive topping, lightly spray the tops with canola oil. This is not a mandatory step and can be omitted based on preference.
  • Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for a duration of 18 to 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  • After baking, remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely. Once cooled, carefully remove the cookies from the tin.
