Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 12 tbsp butter, softened
  • 2 tbsp butter for filling
  • 3-4 medium apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and finely diced
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar for filling
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp + 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water for thickening filling

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Pastry cutter or two forks
  • 24-cup mini muffin tin
  • Wire cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Prepare apples by peeling and finely dicing them.
  2. In a medium pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and water. Stir until sugar melts and coats apples.
  3. Cook for 4-6 minutes until apples start to soften. Stir in cornstarch-and-water slurry and cook until thickened, about 4-5 minutes. Allow filling to cool completely.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin.
  5. In a large bowl, combine flour, rolled oats, and brown sugar. Add softened butter and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Press heaping tablespoons of the crust mixture into mini muffin cups to create cups.
  7. Spoon one tablespoon of cooled apple filling into each cup and sprinkle reserved crust mixture on top.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes until tops are golden brown. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing.
