Ingredients

Everything for 9 servings

  • 1 sheet of shortcrust pastry, defrosted

Apple Filling

  • Knob of butter
  • 3 large apples, finely diced
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • 3 tsp cinnamon

Dutch crumble

  • ¼ cup plain flour
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ rolled oats
  • 50g softened butter, cut into small cubes
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Method

1

Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a muffin tray with some butter/oil.

2

To make the apple filling, melt a knob of butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the apples, brown sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon, and stir well to combine. Lower the heat and cook for ~8-10 minutes until the apples soften and the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and allow to cool whilst preparing the Dutch crumble.

3

To make the Dutch crumble, in a bowl mix together the flour, brown sugar, oats and cinnamon. Using your hands, work through the butter until it forms into crumbles. Place in the fridge until ready to use.

4

Cut the pastry into 9 squares and gently press into each muffin tin. Spoon the apple mixture into each pastry square and sprinkle the Dutch crumble over the top.

5

Bake for ~20 mins until the pastry is golden. Carefully remove from muffin tray and place on a lined baking tray. Cook for a further 5-8 mins to cook the sides of the pies.

6

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve with custard and/or ice cream.
