Mini Apple Crumbles

I used a Dutch apple pie recipe from Food.com (Food.com 2002) to make these mini apple crumbles for my boyfriend's work. They were a hit! Crunchy on the outside and juicy inside, everyone said they loved them. The recipe made about 2 dozen, but we kept 1 dozen for ourselves...You know, to make sure they tasted good.


Filling

2x 200g sheets store-bought shortcrust pastry, thawed
5 1/2 cups peeled, cored and sliced into small pieces, cooking apples (I used Granny Smith for their delicious sourness) 
1 tbs lemon juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
3 tbs flour
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

Topping

3/4 cup plain (multipurpose) flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup butter, room temperature


Preheat oven to 185'C (375'F).
Fill a one dozen mini cupcake tray with patty pans. Cut circles out of shortcrust pastry to fit inside patty pans. Combine apples, lemon juice, both sugars, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Evenly separate mixture into patty pans
In another bowl, mix flour, both sugars and butter with fork until resembles breadcrumbs. Sprinkle evenly onto the pattypans.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden.
