Ingredients

Filling

• 6 Smitten apples, peeled, cored, thinly sliced

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1 lemon, zested

• 2 tbsp raisins

• Pinch of salt

• 1/4 cup (55g) brown sugar

• 3 sheets puff pastry, just thawed

Crumble Topping

• 125g butter, chilled, chopped

• 1 cup (150g) plain flour

• 1 cup (220g) brown sugar

• 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats

• Pinch of salt

Method

Step 1
Preheat oven to 180˚C. Lightly grease twelve 1/3-cup (80ml) muffin pan holes. Combine apple, cinnamon, lemon zest, raisins, salt, and half the sugar in a bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes to develop the flavours.

Step 2
To make the crumble topping, place butter, flour, sugar, rolled oats, and salt in a bowl. Rub butter into the mixture with your fingertips until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 3
Cut twelve 12cm-diameter discs from the pastry. Carefully line each prepared hole with a pastry disc. Spoon the apple mixture evenly among the pastry cases. Top with crumble topping.

Step 4
Bake for 30 mins or until tops are golden brown and the apple is tender. Set aside to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
