Name: Apple Crumble Pies Recipe
Cook time: 35 min
Total time: 35 min
Yield: 6 pieces
Ingredients: 200 g all-purpose flour; 35 g powdered sugar; 35 g sugar; 1 pinch of salt; 100 g cold butter (cubed); 1 egg yolk; 1–2 tbsp cold water; 3–4 apples (e.g. Elstar or Boskop); 2 tbsp brown sugar; 1 tbsp lemon juice; 75 g flour; 40 g sugar; 60 g cold butter (cubed); A small handful of flaked almonds for sprinkling

Directions

1
Mix the flour, both sugars and salt. Add the cold butter and work it into a crumbly texture using your fingertips or a dough hook. Add the egg yolk and cold water and knead quickly into a smooth dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for about 30 minutes.
2
Peel, core and finely dice the apples. Mix with brown sugar and lemon juice and briefly sauté in a pan. Then let the excess juice drain off a little.
3
Mix the flour, sugar and butter into coarse crumbles and chill.
4
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut out circles and line 6 tartlet molds (Ø 10 cm, preferably with a removable base and non-stick coating). Prick the base several times with a fork.
5
Spoon the drained apple filling into the tartlet bases. Sprinkle the crumbles on top and add a few flaked almonds to the center.
6
Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (top/bottom heat) for about 35–40 minutes until golden brown.
7
Let cool completely after baking, then carefully remove from the molds. Just before serving, dust with powdered sugar. Whether with coffee or just as a little treat – these tiny pies make every moment a little more beautiful.
