For the streusel:

  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • pinch of kosher salt

For the filling:

  • 2 Granny Smith apples peeled, cored and diced
  • 2 tbs. brown sugar
  • 2 tbs. unsalted butter
  • 1 lemon juice only
  • pinch kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 pie crust store-bought, at room temperature

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour a 12-cup muffin tin or line with parchment paper cups. Unroll your pie crust and use a glass or cookie cutter to cut circles that are slightly larger — about 1/4 inch — than the base of your muffin cups (I used a 2 1/2-inch cutter).
  • Place the circles in the bottom of each muffin cup, pressing gently along the sides and bottoms. Spoon some apple filling into each crust and top with the streusel.
  • Bake cookies for 20 minutes, or until streusel is golden brown. Cool completely in tins on a wire rack. Serve immediately or store, covered, for up to 3 days.
