Instructions
Apple Filling
- Cut the apple into superfine chunks with a knife or food processor.

- Sift in cake flour and the almond flour. Mix until well incorporated.
- Chill the dough in the fridge for 30-60 minutes.
Crumble
- In a medium bowl, add butter and sift in confectioners' sugar, cake flour, and almond flour. Use a fork to cut butter into the flour until fine crumbs form.
- Chill the crumb in the fridge until using it.
Assemble

- Using a 2-inch/5 cm cookie cutter, cut into circles. Re-roll any scraps and cut them into circles.
- Place the circles into each cavity of a muffin pan. Gently press the dough down until it fits the cavity.
- Spoon and spread 1 tsp apple filling over the dough, leaving the outside edges uncovered.
- Spoon crumble on top and press slightly with a spoon.
