Ingredients

  • 4 granny smith apples
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla beans
  • 100 grams or ½ cup cubed cold butter
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • ¼ cup quick oats
  • ¾ cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  • Filling:
  • Cut the apples in small cubes and put in a pan.
  • Add butter, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Cook on medium heat for 10 minutes and stir. 
  • Remove from heat and place filling in a bowl. Let cool completely and refrigerate.
  • Crust:
  •  Beat the butter, salt, and sugar in a mixer and cream them together.
  • Add the egg yolk and beat until all combined. Add the flour and continue on a low speed. When it forms big crumbs, remove from the bowl to a working surface and press it together. 
  • Wrap in a plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • Topping:
  • Put butter, oats, flour, and honey in a bowl, and mix together. Refrigerate.
  • Assembly:
  • Oil a mini-muffin pan. 
  • Roll the dough on a floured surface. With a flower-shaped cookie cutter, cut cookies out and put flowers in the muffin pan. 
  • In each space put 1 to 2 teaspoons of the apple filling. Cover the apples with the topping. 
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack. Repeat with leftover dough.
  • When serving, sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.
