Servings: persons

Crust
1/2 cup butter, softened
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup flour
Filling
2 apples, finely chopped and core discarded
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 dash nutmeg
Crumble Topping
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 dash nutmeg
2 tablespoons butter, chilled

1
Cream butter and cream cheese together. Once well combined, add flour and work into dough by hand or by mixer. Chill dough for about one hour.
2
Meanwhile, make the filling by combining the apples, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Allow the apple mixture to sit and flavors to meld.
3
Combine flour, brown sugar, and nutmeg into a small bowl, stirring well. Cut in butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4
When dough is ready, preheat oven to 400u00b0F.
5
Divide dough into 24 small balls and press into the bottom and up the sides of the cups in a miniature muffin pan.
6
Fill each crust with apple filling - this should rise a little above each cup, as the apples will settle a bit during baking. If you have extra juice in the bottom of the bowl when you've used up the apples, divide that up throughout the cups too.
7
Top each pie with crumble topping.
8
Bake for 18-20 minutes. Filling will be bubbly and top a light golden brown when ready.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
