Instructions
-
Prepare the Crust:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly flour your surface and roll out the pie crust. Using a round cutter or a glass, cut circles large enough to fit into a mini muffin tin. Gently press each circle into the muffin wells. -
Make the Filling:
Peel, core, and finely chop the apples. In a bowl, mix them with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice until coated. -
Mix the Topping:
In another bowl, combine oats, brown sugar, flour, salt, and cubed butter. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend until crumbly. -
Assemble the Bites:
Spoon a small amount of apple mixture into each crust. Top with a generous sprinkle of the oat mixture. -
Bake:
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. -
Cool & Serve:
Allow bites to cool slightly before removing from the pan. Serve warm, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
Tips & Variations
-
Add Nuts: Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts into the topping for extra crunch.
-
Make It Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free oats and substitute the flour with almond or oat flour.
-
Caramel Apple Twist: Add a teaspoon of caramel sauce inside before topping with oats.
